To prefer aparece en distintas construcciones. Puede llevar un sustantivo ( I prefer coffee), un infinitivo con to ( I prefer to swim) o un gerundio ( I prefer swimming). Cuando comparas dos cosas, puede llevar un sustantivo más to más otro sustantivo ( I prefer coffee to tea), un gerundio más to más otro gerundio ( I prefer swimming to running) o un infinitivo con to más rather than más otro infinitivo sin to o un gerundio: I prefer to swim rather than run o I prefer to swim rather than running.
Las estructuras con infinitivo expresan preferencias específicas y muchas veces se introducen con would: I would prefer to... Si existe complemento directo, entonces sólo se puede emplear el infinitivo con to: I would prefer you to... Preferiría que tú...
También puedes emplear would rather ( would para todas las personas) más el infinitivo sin to: I would rather go home. Preferiría irme a casa. Si existe complemento directo, el verbo aparece en pasado simple: I would rather you went home. Preferiría que te fueras a casa.
