Practise the structural differences between would rather, would prefer, and prefer. Each expression is followed by a different verb form: would rather + bare infinitive (I'd rather stay), would prefer + to-infinitive (I'd prefer to stay), and prefer + -ing (I prefer staying). Also learn the comparison structures: prefer X to Y, prefer to do rather than do, and would rather do than do.
