Hi
I got this correction
"Icarus: We had better get going before it starts to rain"
I do not understand it since "had better" is in the past and the situation is in the present
Thanks so much for your support...

The sentence refers to a quite sure thing, so in this case you'll use had better for an urgent advice, referring they could happen in the near future.
