Preference Part 3a
We have learnt how to use rather and prefer to in the conditional tense in the
affirmative form. In order to use the negative form, we need to add not. Have a look
to the structure.
Would rather:
Subject + would rather + not + infinitive.
Would Prefer:
Subject + would + prefer + not + to + infinitive.
Remember that we always use to with prefer but never after rather.
Examples:
I would rather not go by plane.
Examples:
Would you rather have pizza?
Preference Part 4a
We can use another structure with would rather to say what we prefer or when we
want somebody to do something. We need to use object pronouns and the past
simple tense.
Affirmative:
Subject + would rather + object + past simple
Negative:
Subject + would rather + object + past simple negative
Questions:
Would + subject + rather + object + past simple
Examples:
Id rather we stayed at the hotel tonight.
Notice that we are using the past simple tense with a different meaning. Analyse
these two examples:
Examples:
Lucy went to London yesterday.
