Answer 2

Exercise 2: Using the construction "I'd prefer to... rather than"

To complete this exercise, we need to use the construction "I'd prefer to... rather than." This construction is used to express a preference for one action over another. Let's go through each sentence and apply this construction:

1. James would prefer to read the book rather than work in the garden. 2. Chris would prefer to play football rather than do one's homework. 3. Jane and Mary would prefer to sunbathe rather than clean up. 4. Laura would prefer to watch TV rather than wash up. 5. Nick and Peter would prefer to ride their bicycles rather than play the computer. 6. Mr. Robertson would prefer to drink tea rather than make a birdhouse. 7. Mrs. Smith would prefer to talk over the phone rather than cook. 8. Ireen would prefer to write a letter rather than go to work. 9. The children would prefer to swim rather than repair the car. 10. The dog would prefer to walk about the field rather than look through the window.

Remember, after "rather than," we use the infinitive form of the verb without "to." This construction allows us to express a preference for one action over another.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
