'you better', you'd better'
How do I use these phrases? I mean for i.e. 'You better do something' or 'You'd better do sth'? What form is right? And in which cases each phrase is used?

Hello Maxpancho,
*You'd better is a contraction of " you had better" and it is an idiomatic phrase
meaning " ought, should or must do something".
You had better hurry up if you want to catch the plane.
It can't be the 2nd verb in a phrase. You can't say for example:
You will had better......
When speaking most people leave out "had" and say " you better ....
You better hurry up if you want to catch the plane.
