SIGNIFICADO DE ACUERDO A ESTE CONTEXTO:

I would like to..

I would prefer to
(Preferiría..)

Why don't..?

ALGUNOS EJEMPLOS:

(PREFERIRÍA ESTUDIAR INGLÉS QUE FRANCÉS.)

CASO 3:

.....aplica igual que al caso anterior inmediato, a diferencia que, gramaticalmente hablando, después de "rather" el verbo no lleva la partícula "to"......
