prefer后面跟不定式和动名词的区别

prefer to do /prefer doing 意思上没什么区别,正如like to do /like doing 只不过to do 强调一次性的，doing 强调经常性的，如I like swimming ,but i don'g like to swim today .
但prefer 有它固定的句式，那么要严格的按照句式了。
如prefer to do A rather than do B
prefer doing A to doing B
如：i prefer staying at home to going outside on such a hot day.
i prefer to stay at home rather than go out.

1、prefer sth to sth.
例：I prefer apples to pears.
2、prefer doing to doing
例：I prefer walking to driving.
3、prefer to do rather than do
例：I prefer to go rather than stay here.
【关于prefer掌握这几个结构就足够了吧，to可以是介词to 也可以是不定式to（介词to 就是说to后面加名词或者是doing ；不定式to就是说to 后面加do，结合上面的例句分析一下吧）】希望对你有所帮助

严格说接不定式和接动名词没有意义的区别，只是二者讲究一种结构平衡，要么同时用不定式，要么同时用动名词。

prefer同like用法相同，prefer同like better意义相同
prefer doing to doing表示经常这么做
