Had better
We use had better plus the infinitive without
to to give advice. Although had is the past
form of have, we use had better to give
advice about the present or future.

You'd better tell her everything.
I'd better get back to work.
We'd better meet early.
Had better
The negative form is had better not.

You'd better not say anything.
I'd better not come.
We'd better not miss the start of his
presentation.
Had better
We use had better to give advice about specific
situations, not general ones. If you want to talk
about general situations, you must use should.

You should brush your teeth before you go to bed.
I shouldn't listen to negative people.
He should dress more appropriately for the office.

Had better
However, when we use had better there is a
suggestion that if the advice is not followed, that
something bad will happen.

You'd better do what I say or else you will get into
trouble.
I'd better get back to work or my boss will be angry
with me.
We'd better get to the airport by five or else we
may miss the flight.
