Would Rather / Prefer / Had Better Dictation: Prefer with Nouns and Activities
B1 Level
English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made
Listen for the thing or activity the speaker prefers. It may be a noun or an ing form in this set. When a second option is stated, to connects the two; it is a preposition there, not an instruction to use an infinitive. Some sentences give only the preferred activity, followed by a time or condition. Keep that shape rather than adding an alternative. Prefer has other possible patterns in English, but your answer needs the noun or activity phrase actually spoken here.
