ほうがいい

ほうがいい gives advice and means one option is better.

Affirmative advice often uses the た-form; negative advice often uses the ない form.

風邪をひいたときは、早く寝たほうがいいです。

When you catch a cold, you should go to bed early.

Do not confuse this advice pattern with comparative AよりBのほうが.

'That side is better' becomes advice.
