Ex: I don’t like cities. I prefer to live in the country (hoặc I prefer living in the country.)

(Tôi không thích thành phố. Tôi thích sống ở nông thôn hơn)

- Ngoài ra 'Prefer' còn có cấu trúc sau:

+ Prefer sth to sth

(Anh thích bộ quần áo này hơn chiếc bộ em đã mặc ngày hôm qua.)

+ Prefer doing sth to doing sth = prefer to do sth rather than (do) sth

(Tôi thích đi máy bay hơn là đi bằng xe lửa.)

Anh prefers to live in Haiphong city rather than (live) in Ha Noi .

(Anh thích sống ở thành phố Haiphong hơn là sống ở Ha Noi)

2. Would prefer:

“Would prefer” để nói tới điều ta muốn làm trong một tình huống cụ thể nào đó (không phải chung chung):

- "Would prefer sth (+ or+sth)" (thích cái gì 'hơn cái gì')

Ex:

(Anh muốn uống trà hay cà phê vậy?" " Cà phê.

- “Would prefer to do”:

Ex:

“Shall we go by train?” - “Well, I’d prefer to go by car.”=> không nói 'going'.

(Chúng ta đi xe lửa nhé? Ồ tôi thích đi xe hơi hơn.)

I’d prefer to stay at home tonight rather than go to the cinema.

3. Would rather:

Ex:

“Shall we go by train?”- “Well, I’d prefer to go by car.”

(Chúng ta đi xe lửa nhé?"- "Ồ, tôi thích đi xe hơi hơn." (hoặc “Well, I’d rather go by car.”)

NOTE:

Câu phủ định là: would rather not 'do' sth.

Ex:

I’m tired. I’d rather not go out this evening, if you don’t mind.

(Tôi cảm thấy mệt. Tôi không muốn đi chơi tối nay, nếu anh không giận.)

("Tôi ở lại đây nhé?" "Tôi muốn anh đi với chúng tôi hơn.")

“Shall I tell them the news?” “No, I’d rather they didn’t know.”

("Tôi nói cho họ biết tin nhé?" "Không tôi muốn họ không biết.")

“Shall I tell them or would you rather they didn’t know?”

("Tôi sẽ nói với họ nhé hay là anh không muốn cho họ biết?")

- Trong cấu trúc này chúng ta dùng thì Quá khứ (came, did v.v...) nhưng ý nghĩa lại là hiện tại hoặc tương lai, chứ không phải quá khứ.

Hãy so sánh:

I’d rather cook the dinner now. (Tôi muốn nấu bữa tối ngay bây giờ.)
