prefer 和rather 的用法 prefer 和rather 单独使用的时候的用法

Answer 1

、prefer to do sth= would rather do sth更喜欢做某事,宁愿做某事.
例如:I’d like to stay at home ,but Max prefers toplay(play) football on Sundays.= I’d like to stay at home ,but Max would ratherplay(play) football on Sundays.
注意点：1.prefer to do sth 不仅有人称变换,第三人称形式是prefers to do sth ,而且还有时态变化,过去时态为preferred to do sth.
2.would rather既无人称变化,也无时态变化.
二、prefer to do sth rather than do sth=prefer doing sth to(doing) sth =would rather do sth than do sth 即prefer A to B,“比起B来更喜欢A”,其中to是介词.
例如:All students prefer to take the bus rather than walk.= All students prefer taking the bus to walking.=All students would rather take the bus than walk
