1.prefer常与介词to连用，表示“喜欢……而不喜欢……”。
I prefer this to that.我喜欢这个，而不喜欢那个。
2.prefer...to...和prefer...rather than...的区别,
以句子I prefer going to staying和I prefer to go rather than to stay为例:
第一句里的to是介词，后面接动名词，不接不定式。
第二句里的rather不可省略，一般prefer后接不定式，但可将rather than to stay替换成to staying，不过因格式上不对称不常用；
3.在没有说明不喜欢的行为的场合时，且只说一次的事用prefer to do的表达方式更普遍。
I prefer to go this evening.但是说经常的事时，人们习惯用动名词.
As a rule I prefer going in the evening.4.prefer后可接宾语和不定式。
Her parents prefer her to study Russian and English.她父母喜欢她学习俄罗斯语和英语。
5.prefer后可接that从句，从句用should或虚拟现在时。
We prefer that each new student should take this course.
6.prefer后还可接宾语和表语。
I prefer my milk a little sweetened.
7.prefer的形容词形式preferable指“更好的，更合意的”。它同prefer A to B的句型一样，后也常与介词to连用.
The first choice is preferable to the second.第一个选择比第二个更好。
I prefer this to that.我喜欢这个，而不喜欢那个。

我觉得与其去看电影倒不如呆在家里。
