We use 'would rather' to state a preference. 'I don't want to go to the party. I'm tired, so I'd rather go home.' Would you rather watch a film on TV or at the cinema? I'd rather watch it at the cinema, because the screen is bigger.

"Would Rather" can be used as a way to say "in place of". The structure can be "I would rather (Verb) (Noun) than (Verb) (Noun)," or "Instead of (Verb) (Noun), I would rather (Verb) (Noun)." The verbs always conjugate with the subject. "Would rather" doesn't conjugate for the present tense. I Hope this helps :)
