✦ Lesson 6 · Real-world communication
Say what you would prefer
When we choose between two things, we can ask and answer with prefer.
Mark: Would you prefer to be a farmer or a biologist?
Lena: I'd prefer to be a farmer. I like working outside in the countryside.
Mark: I'd prefer to be a biologist. I think it's more interesting. What about you?
Lena: I'd prefer to be a farmer. I like working outside in the countryside.
Mark: I'd prefer to be a biologist. I think it's more interesting. What about you?
🧠 Remember
I'd prefer to = I would prefer to. After to comes the plain verb: I'd prefer to be.
