Question

Saya Sangat bingung dengan perbedaan:
- prefer
- would prefer
- would rather
saya googling dan hasilnya sama.. saya belum mengerti juga

Answer 1

Beda di rumus.. Tp untuk cara pemakaiannya sih sama aja.. Sama2 untuk memilih sesuatu ketimbang sesuatu yang lain.. Dan kalau tau rumusnya pasti kliatan bedanya.. Kalau "prefer" rumus nya S + prefer + noun + to/instead of + noun Kalau beda "would prefer" dengan "would rather".. Would Prefer: S + would prefer + Noun + than + Noun Nah bedanya ama prefer.. Dia kedua Noun nya cuma boleh diganti ama Infinitive Kalau "Would Rather" rumusnya S + would rather + noun + rather than + noun Would rather sama dengan prefer.. Dia kedua noun nya boleh diganti dengan V-ing Dan beda would rather dengan would prefer itu, kalau would prefer cukup pake "than" setelah noun pertama.. Tapi kalo would rather.. Harus pake "rather than" setelah noun pertama.. Sekian.. Semoga mmbantu..

Answer 2

Prefer + noun + to + noun
I prefer tea to coffee

Would prefer + to + V1 + rather than/instead of
- I would prefer to walk to your house.
I would prefer to walk to your house rather than use a train.
- I would prefer to have a dog.
I would prefer to have a dog instead of a cat.
Would prefer + noun + rather than/instead of
- I would prefer cheesecake
I would prefer cheesecake rather than strawberry cake.
- I would prefer short pants
I would prefer short pants instead of skirt.

Would rather + bare infinitive (infinitive tanpa to)/V1 + than
- I would rather be dead.
I would rather be dead than live with you.
- I would rather sleep
I would rather sleep than watch TV.

tahu perbedaannya kan? :)
would prefer itu pakai rather than sama instead of
would rather itu cuma than :D
