I'd rather, plumb for, and other doubts. Help!!!
0 Hello! 02 br
02 br
00 I really need a help with the following, please: 02 br
02 br
00 a) I'd rather to live in England than in Greece. (here does 01 u 01 b 00 ' I'd rather 02 b 02 u 00 ' mean: ' 01 u 01 b 00 I would rather ' 02 b 02 u 00 ? If so, the meaning of it in this sentence is : " 01 u 01 b 00 I prefer 02 b 02 u 00 to live in England than in Greece" ?); 02 br
02 br
00 - Concerning to the sentence above should I say : I'd rather 01 u 01 b 00 live 02 b 02 u 00 or I'd rather 01 u 01 b 00 to live 02 b 02 u 00 ?; 02 br
02 br
00 b) What does 01 b 01 u 00 'more better than' 02 u 02 b 00 mean ? Example: I enjoy fruit juice 01 u 01 b 00 more better than 02 b 02 u 00 milk; 02 br
02 br
00 c) What does 01 u 01 b 00 plumb for 02 b 02 u 00 mean ?; 02 br
02 br
00 d) Ted 01 u 01 b 00 much 02 b 02 u 00 prefers riding than climbing (here what does 01 u 01 b 00 'much' 02 b 02 u 00 mean ?); 02 br
02 br
00 e) Does 01 b 01 u 00 'rather than' 02 u 02 b 00 means 01 u 01 b 00 'more than' 02 b 02 u 00 ?; 02 br
02 br
00 f) And how about 01 u 01 b 00 'on balance' 02 b 02 u 00 ? What does it mean? For example: 01 u 01 b 00 On balance 02 b 02 u 00 , ballet appeals to me more than tap dance. (here 01 b 01 u 00 appeals to me 02 u 02 b 00 means 01 i 01 b 00 it seems more interesting to me than 02 b 02 i 00 ..., isn't it?) 02 br

00 Thanks, 02 br
