The contraction ‘s can mean is or…https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/102643/what-the-the-meaning-difference-between-prefer-would-preferhttps://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/102643/what-the-the-meaning-difference-between-prefer-would-prefer

This is a rather tricky question. Although prefer can certainly be used transitively with a to-infinitival following the object, the inclusion of ‘for’ before the direct object is not ungrammatical per se. There may be limitations on its use, and it may subtly alter the meaning. This usage of for + DO + to-infinitive is more general than this particular example, and is analysed by Jackie …https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/preferhttps://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/prefer

2 août 2022Doug: I very much prefer reading books to watching TV. As you can see, when you want to compare two objects OR your general preference between two activities (remember: Use a gerund!), use prefer…to.

For example: I steak over porkchops or He …https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/222388/would-prefer-to-do-something-vs-would-prefer-doing-somethinghttps://english.stackexchange.com/questions/222388/would-prefer-to-do-something-vs-would-prefer-doing-something
Would prefer to do something vs. would prefer doing something
I’ve heard that it is grammatically incorrect to use a gerund after would prefer, for example, you say I’d prefer to walk not I’d prefer walking. But I’m almost sure that I have heard a sentence like I’d prefer walking to driving. I was wondering if it is because in the former there is only one option, whereas in the latter there are two options and you are comparing two things.https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/222873/prefer-to-do-something-vs-would-prefer-to-do-somethinghttps://english.stackexchange.com/questions/222873/prefer-to-do-something-vs-would-prefer-to-do-something
Prefer to do something vs. would prefer to do something
The would implies a conditional and is thus, as already mentioned, more polite. E.g. the host offers you tea but you prefer coffee: I would prefer coffee, (if that is possible/if you do not mind/if it does not trouble you). You can of course still say I prefer coffee without the conditional, but it just isn’t as polite.https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/which-one-do-you-prefer-would-you-prefer.3232234https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/which-one-do-you-prefer-would-you-prefer.3232234

I just take the quiz and got wrong answers regarding the word would prefer and would rather. In your video, you said would prefer is same thing as would rather except the word structure. Can you give a more detail about would prefer and would rather because it is confusing me. Thanks for your respond. Best Regards.
