This question had been repeated in a different manner
The first time I came across something like this it was tricky and I got it wrong
Around 1978 ,19780 the answer for the previous years was
I'd rather you visited him tommorow
So I'd rather you called him tommorow is very correct
It is a continuous past tense
I'd rather you called him means it's most preferred you call him tomorrow and not today
it can't be called you again tomorrow because the speech is in present not past, so the answer should be call
After "I'd rather," we normally use the bare infinitive (call, go, eat) instead of the past tense.
So, "I'd rather you call back tomorrow" is grammatically correct.
Would rather is followed by a past subjunctive when its subject is different than the subject of the following verb.
This happens when we talk about what we want someone else to do.
from ChatGp:t The correct answer is "call":
"I'd rather you call again tomorrow."
This is because "would rather" (or "I'd rather") is followed by the bare infinitive (the base form of the verb without "to").
id rather call
id rather you called
A to Z English
id rather you (goes with past tense)
id rather ( present )
