the usage of preferences (like...better than, prefer,and would rather)

Posted by Nashihul Umam Posted on April - 29 - undefined 0 komentar friends, in this chance i would like to present and share about the usage of preferences, before explaining them, let's look these sentences below: 1). i like writing better than reading 2). i like apple better than banana 3). i prefer writing to reading 4). i prefer apple to banana 5). i would rather have an apple than have banana explanation: preferences are used for comparing something that offer by someone at us or some option that is offered at us; for further explaining let's look these rules below: a). if you look at the examples above; in the first and the second, there are preferences by using like...better for the first one is example of the verb form, and the pattern is like this: S+like+V(ing) +better than+ V(ing) and the second is example of the noun form, and the pattern is like this: S+like+noun+better than+noun. actually both of the forms above,haven't much difference. Because, V-ing is called by gerund that has same position with noun. b). as same as the explanation above, for the third and also the forth. They also have the verb and the noun form, for the verb form, the pattern is S+prefer+V(ing)+to+V(ing), and for the noun form the pattern is like this S+noun+to+noun. In this shape, after prefer they also use V1+ ing (look at the 3th example) and noun after prefer (look at the 4th example). c). for the fifth the pattern is like this, S+would rather+V1+than+V1. there is an exception for this one, because in this pattern, after would rather there is a simple verb form v1 (you can look at the last example). you also can use would rather in polite request by adding to; for example: would you rather have an apple to blackberry? okay..friends i hope you can get much advantages.
