A simple question I'm writing a short paragraph for my english class, and I have this question: Can I use "rather" in a formal writing? I've heard that people say this very often, but I do not know if I could use it in a writing. For example, in the next sentence: "Leo acknowledges that he will die someday, but he does not think about it. He’d rather think in a positive way." Please, help me with this.Leave a comment. I would appreciate it. Thanks
