【要点精讲】

一、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.
