Verb missing: We would much rather this turn into a 'slanging war'!

[Meisje]

Hey!
A have a question about this sentence:
"We would much rather this turn into a "slanging war"!"
isn't there a verb missing? like "we would much rather see this turn..."?

[Kitosdad]

Meisje, the use of "see" would be optional in this sentence.

Hi Meisje,

In your sentence -

[SkiIucK]

Hello,

Is "We would much rather this turned into a 'slanging war'" wrong?

[Kitosdad]

"We would much rather this turned into a 'slanging war'" wrong?

Or alternatively;

"We would much rather see this turning into a slanging war"

This get better by the minute. English eh!

Hi,
I think that ".............Turned..........." is also correct.
Because we use "would rather+subject+past tense",but the meaning is present or future:
I'd rather cook the dinner now.(=I'd rather you cooked the dinner now.)
Best regards,
Morteza
