Prefer/Would Prefer/Would Rather三者有什么区别？用法分别是什么？-KET/PET基础语法知识点

尽管KET/PET考试没有大面积直接考察语法，但是口语和写作部分也会间接考察孩子对语法知识的掌握。下面跟着KET与PET研习社一起学习今天的语法知识吧~

Prefer, would prefer和would rather都有表达偏好的意思，那么三者之间有没有区别呢？三者分别的使用规则又有什么呢？一起来看看吧！

Prefer/Would Prefer/Would Rather使用规则

1. Prefer

当表达普遍的偏好时，我们会使用prefer to …或者 prefer doing。

I don’t like cities. I prefer to live in the country or I prefer living in the country.

规则：

例句：

I prefer this coat to the other one.
I prefer driving to travelling by train.
I prefer driving rather than travelling by train.
I prefer to drive rather than travel by train.

2. Would prefer （= ‘d prefer）

我们使用would prefer来表达某人在特定情况下的偏好。

Would you prefer tea or coffee?——Coffee, please.

规则：

例句：

I would prefer fruit juice.
‘Shall we go by train?’ ‘I’d prefer to drive.’ (= I would prefer todrive)
I’d prefer to stay at home tonight rather than go to the cinema.

3. Would rather（= ‘d rather）

I would rather do = I would prefer to do

规则：

例句：

注意：当用would rather谈论别人应该做某事时，应该使用would rather did。这里的did指的并不是过去式，而是一种使用规则。比较下面两个句子:

I would rather make dinner now.
I would rather you made dinner now. (not I’d rather you make)

否定形式则为：I‘d rather you didn’t tell anyone what I said.

prefer/would prefer/would rather三者区分

通过以上所述我们也可以得出，prefer, would prefer和would rather三者的使用区别在于：prefer用于表达普遍的偏好，而would prefer和would rather用于表达在特定情况下的偏好。
