''We'd better get this over with''

[WilliamRota]

Does 'better'' have an adverbial role in this sentence?

 

[Rover_KE]

Yes. 'Had better' is a set phrase meaning 'We would be wise to'/'It would be to our advantage to'.

But because it's a set phrase it's not particularly illuminating to say ' "better'' ha an adverbial role in this sentence'.

And ''over with'' is a word separately or integrates ''this'', as it was said ''get over with this''. Thank you.

 

[Rover_KE]

'Get this over with' means 'get this finished.'

Your thread title means 'We would be wise to get this finished'.
