To import into my Anki deck
Please correct all the expressions here.
I want to make sure these sentences are correct because they will show up quite often during my Anki review. Anki is an electronic flashcard system that helps with memorization. I am kind of a serious student of English;)

Give a softer tone to the sentence below.
I’ve never given it much thought.
I haven't given it much thought.
What are/is geared to giving advice in a specific situation?
had better
be better
be best
had better
What are/is geared to giving general suggestions?
had better
be better
be best
be better + to-infinitive
be best + to-infinitive (informal)
Which of the followings is used in informal speaking?
You'd better leave till Monday.
You'd best leave till Monday.
You'd best leave till Monday.
What are/is geared to giving advice in a specific situationich expression strongly suggests a specific course of action to the point where its use warns of possible harmful effects?
All of these expressions can be used to give advice in a specific situation. The difference is not in the situation, but in how strong the advice is. "Had better" is more forceful than the others. It sounds almost like a command. For example, "You had better leave right now or you'll be late." It can be used to pick a fight, or to look after someone in a slightly bossy way.
"What are/is geared to giving general suggestionich expression suggests that one course of action is superior relative to others?
These expressions are used more indirectly, and they imply that one choice is better, but maybe others are also okay. "Don't you want to leave soon? It would be better to get there a little early." (Alix covered everything else well, so I won't repeat Alix's points.)

Thank you for the clarification!

I haven't given it much thought.
What are/ich phrase is geared to giving advice in a specific situation?
You don't need "are" because these phrases are regarded as singular entities, aka not plural.
had better
be better
be best
had better
What are/ich is geared to giving general suggestions?
had better
be better
be best
be better + to-infinitive
be best + to-infinitive (informal)
Which of the followings is used in informal speaking?
You'd better leave till Monday.
"'Til" doesn't make sense in this sentence because it is a shortened version of "until". You don't leave until a specific date, but rather, you leave ON a date. You use "until/'til" when saying "stay".
TL;DR:
leave -----> on
stay -------> until
You'd best leave tillon Monday.
You'd best leave tillon Monday.
