I would prefer that he don’t do that… this English sentence is easily understandable, but it’s grammatically incorrect and sounds a bit off to native English speakers. In today’s video, I explain why and tell you how to say it correctly, and keep in mind that today’s video is for upper intermediate to advanced learners who are interested in learning grammar rules and understanding the “why” behind what we say and how we say it. The reason why the sentence “I would prefer that he don’t do that” is incorrect has to do with how we use the subjunctive in English, which is a grammatical mood that we use to express wishes, suggestions, recommendations, demands, and preferences. To use the subjunctive, all we need to do is use the base form of the verb (the basic verb form with no endings that you’d find in a dictionary) with all of the subjects. So, for example, while we normally say “he makes” with an -s at the end, the subjunctive form of this verb is “he make.” And instead of saying “I am,” we’re going to say “I be” in the subjunctive. Here are some example sentences with it: I insisted that he come with us. It’s incredibly important that everyone be on time tomorrow. However, when we use the subjunctive in the NEGATIVE, things change a little bit. To make the subjunctive negative in a sentence like “I would prefer that he do that,” we can do one of two things: 1. Simply add not before the verb (this is more common in American English): I would prefer that he NOT do that. 2. Use the past tense form of the verb in the negative (this is more common in British English): I would prefer that he DIDN’T do that. The same also applies to the phrase “would rather”; we can either say “I would rather he NOT do that” or “I would rather he didn’t do that.” However, with most verbs and phrases that require the subjunctive, we’re just going to add “not” before the verb: I insisted that he not come with us. It’s incredibly important that everyone not be on time tomorrow. Now practice using “would prefer” and “would rather” with the subjunctive in the comments below! #e#esll#learnenglishe#englishgrammaradvancedenglish
