Grammar help pls?

Hi,

Can someone explain to me the reason in the third sentence, pls?


1) I am better (off) studying harder. (Grammatical)

2) I have better studying harder. (Grammatical, maybe....)

3) I had better study harder. (Had is a verb like every words in the world, I can't understand why no -ing usage in here?)


Thanks in advance.

OK. 'had better' is a fixed expression. It never changes. It is followed by a verb
