Expressing preferencesExpressing preferencesNow we are going to talk about preferences. The word ‘preference’ is a noun and the verb is ‘pre-fer.’ We use these to talk or ask questions about the things we like more than other things. We use‘prefer’ when we want to talk in general about things that we like more than other things.
Look at these sentences:I prefer chicken to steak.
This is how we use ‘prefer’ in a question:Do you prefer fruit salad to ice cream?

Starters/Appetizers Main course Desserts
When we ask a question with ‘prefer’ we can also say it this way:Do you prefer fruit salad or ice cream
We can also ask questions this way:Which do you prefer, chicken or fish?If we talk about actions with ‘prefer’, we always use a gerund (verb + ing), when we speakinformally.Look at these sentences:I prefer drinking milk to drinking water.He prefers eating fish to (eating) steak. (we don’t need to repeat the gerund).
When we speak formally we use a special form of the verb called the infinitive. We make theinfinitive by using ‘to + base verb’.
Look at these examples of verbs, gerunds and infinitives:
When we want to talk formally about preferences for actions, we use the infinitive together with‘rather than’. Look at these examples:I prefer to eat at home, rather than (to eat) at the restaurant.She prefers to drink red wine, rather than (to drink) white wine.
When we answer a question, using ‘prefer’ we can say the sentence two different ways. Look at these sentences:Do you prefer tea to coffee?I prefer tea to coffee.
We can’t say ‘I prefer tea or coffee’.
Which do you prefer, drinking tea or coffee?I prefer drinking tea to (drinking) coffee.I prefer to drink tea, rather than (to drink) coffee.I prefer tea. (we don’t need to repeat both alternatives)

Let’s review what we have learned about sentences, questions and answers using ‘prefer’.Look at the following table:
As you can see, there are many different ways to talk about preferences, asking questions andgiving answers.
Would ratherSometimes when we talk about preferences, we want to talk aboutreal choices instead of general likes and dislikes. In this type ofsituation we don’t use ‘prefer’. We use a different verb, would rather. Look at these examples:I would rather drink tea than (drink) coffee.Would you rather drink red or white wine?
When we use ‘would rather’ we mean that we want the first thing more than the second thing. Thisis not a general preference; it means I want it now instead of the other choice. When we tell some-one something we always use would rather with than. Let’s look an the examples again so you can see how we make a sentence:I would rather drink tea than (drink) coffee.
When we ask a question we use would rather with or because we are asking about a choice. Look at the example again to see how we make a question:Would you rather drink red or white wine?
When we want to make a negative sentence, we use would rather not.I would rather not drink red wine.We only focus on the negative alternative.

Agreeing Agreeing Now we are going to look at ways that we can agree with someone when they talk aboutpreferences. When you agree you think the same or have the same opinion or preference as theperson that you are talking to. There are two ways of agreeing with someone when they talk about their preferences or opinions;these are me too and so (auxiliary verb) I.
Let’s have a look at some sentences to see how we use these expressions:Mike: I prefer red wine to white wine.Susan: Me too! I love red wine.
We can also agree by saying the sentence like this:Mike: I prefer red wine to white wine.Susan: So do I. I love red wine.
Let’s have a look at another example:Mike: She prefers meat to chicken.Susan: So do I. I prefer meat to chicken.
Notice that with each of these examples, when Mike speaks, he is using a normal verb (not anauxiliary verb, or the verb ‘to be’) and Susan agrees by using the auxiliary verb ‘do’. We alwaysuse this auxiliary verb when we agree with someone if they are using a normal verb to talk abouttheir preferences or opinions.
Now look at these sentences and see how Susan agrees with Mike:Mike: I am hungry.Susan: So am I.
Here is another example.Mike: I would rather have fish than chickenSusan: So would I.
Here is one more example.Mike: I can cook.Susan: So can I.
Did you notice that when Mike speaks he uses am, can, and would? When Susan agrees with him,she uses the same verbs in her reply. We always use the same verb as the person we agree with ifwe use the verb to be or a modal verb like can, could, will and would.

Here are some sentences where people talk about their preferences and other people agree withthem.Mike: I prefer beer to wine.Susan: So do I.
David: I would rather have ice cream than chocolate cake.Peter: So would I.
Peter: I am having fish for dinner.Susan: So am I.
Sometimes people talk about negative opinions or preferences. When we want to agree with anegative opinion or preference said by another person, we reply in a different way. To make a sen-tence with a negative agreement we use either or neither. Let’s look at some examples of conversations where people are making negativestatements and other people agree with them.Peter: I don’t like tomato soup.Mike: Neither do I.Mike could also agree with Peter this way:Mike: I don’t either.
Let’s have a look at some more examples like this.Susan: I don’t like coffee.David: I don’t either.orDavid: Neither do I.
Susan: I don’t like milk.Mike: Neither do I.orMike: I don’t either.
In each of these sentences the first speaker is using ‘I don’t’
Let’s look at some sentences using different verbs.Mike: I’m not hungry.David: Neither am I.orI’m not either.
Susan: I can’t cookPeter: Neither can I.orPeter: I can’t either.
Notice that when we use neither, the verb is always positive. This is very important because nei-ther has a negative meaning (not either) and can’t be used with a negative verb. Also, we mustchange the order of the subject and the verb when we use neither.

Look at the table to see how we make sentences with neither:
Let’s look at some examples using these expressions.I don’t like chocolate cake. Neither do I.
He can’t go to the restaurant.She can’t either.
They aren’t very hungry.Neither are we.
Example: I love fruit and vegetables.So do I.

Exercise 2: Read the sentence and write how you agree with it.
I have to go on a diet.______________________________
I can eat chocolate every day.______________________________
DisagreeingDisagreeingWhen we talk to other people, we don’t always agree withthem. When we have a different idea from that person, wedisagree with them. We disagree with people talking about neg-ative ideas by using different expressions. Look at these examples:Oh! I do (am/can/have/will/would)Really! I do (am/can/have/will/would)I like it.
We disagree with people talking about positive ideas by using different expressions. Look at theseexamples:Oh! I don’t (am not/can’t/haven’t/wont/wouldn’t)Really! I don’t (am not/can’t/haven’t/wont/wouldn’t)
Let’s look at some examples in sentences.I prefer soup to salad.Oh! I don’t
She doesn’t like paella.Really! I do.
I would rather have beer than wine.Oh! I wouldn’t.Look at the tables below. They show all the different ways that we can agree and disagree.
