Hi,
I was wondering if would rather is used in the following tenses only and if they are correct? Moreover, are there any other forms that I have not mentioned it here?
I. The progressive tense
A. "I'd rather be preparing a meal for the dinner tonight".
B. "I'd rather you were preparing a meal for the dinner tonight".
II. The present/future tense
A."I'd rather prepare a meal for the dinner tonight."
B. "I'd rather you prepared a meal for the dinner tonight."
III. The past tense
A."I'd rather have prepared a meal for the dinner last night/tonight."
B. "I'd rather you had prepared a meal for the dinner tonight."
IV. The past perfect progressive tense
A. "I'd rather have been preparing a meal for the dinner last night."
B. "I'd rather you had been preparing a meal for the dinner tonight."
