prefer يأتى بعدهاing
الا اذا سبقها to
والجملتين صح
You can use "prefer to (do)" or "prefer -ing" to say what you prefer in general:
• I don't like cities. I prefer to live in the country OR I prefer livingin the country.
ولكن نستخدم ing عندما نتحدث عن شئ بصفه عامه.
اما to + مصدر عندما نتحدث عن موقف معين.
Would prefer (I'd prefer...)
We use "would prefer" to say what somebody wants in a particular situation (not in general):
• "Would you prefer tea or coffee" "Coffee, please."
We say "would prefer to do" (not "doing"):
• "Shall we go by train?" "Well, I'd prefer to go by car. (not "I'd prefer going")
• I'd prefer to stay at home tonight rather than go to the cinema.
