Which sentence is better, No.1 or No.2? |
I agree with Harry. No.1., present indicative.
Note that, "had better" (meaning, strongly advise) has an urgency about it, which makes it sound a tad bit odd in the context above - you're all in class discussing an topic, not out at the markets shopping. Modal
should or
ought to would fit nicely.
All the best.
