Is the following sentence right or wrong? The sentence is: Put on more clothes in such weather, you'd better.

Question

This is a question item in a test for non-English native speakers. You can just answer me "right", or "wrong".

Answer 1

Wrong. The correct sentence is: You'd better put on more clothes in such weather.

Answer 2

Frankly, I'm amazed that the first EIGHT answers given are all wrong, even from the teachers!.

You have a sentence with two independent main clauses; they must have a semicolon between them; the first clause is an imperative (a command), and the second clause is advisory where "you'd" is short for "you had".

This is corrected: "Put on more clothes in such weather; you'd better."

Answer 3

Wrong as it is written. The subject "You" needs to be in the front of the sentence to be more clear. In Spanish and some other languages, the subject can be found at the end of sentences, but in English the common placement is in the front.

Answer 4

You have to get the ''you'd better'' sfction to the very beginning of the sentence.

Answer 5

Wrong. It's only correct if your name is Yoda. For other folks, "You'd better" goes in the front.

PS: "You'd better" is NOT an independent clause. There is no verb.

Answer 6

WRONG - 'you better' as it stands is dangling. It needs to be at the beginning of the sentence.

Answer 7

I'm not a non-English native speaker; therefore, I cannot answer your question.

Answer 8

The sentence needs to be reworded altogether.

Answer 9

Right

Answer 10

Right
