Grammatical Problems

[mir@]

Hello my dear friends;

There I have some problem with the structure of these sentences and I don't know which one is correct in each case:

Case #1

I would rather not speaking that way

OR

I would rather not to speak that way

None of them.

I would rather not speak that way.

Case #2

I would rather prefer to travel by train

OR

I would rather to travel / traveling by train.


(The point in case #2 is that if it is correct to use the word PREFER inside this structure or it would be enough if we just omit it and make the sentence without that word in one of the structures in case #1 ? )

Thanks kindly and I'll appreciate your help a lot.

Best of Luck

would rather = prefer

so prefer is redundant and the correct form is

I would rather travel by train

None of them.

I would rather not speak that way.

would rather = prefer

so prefer is redundant and the correct form is

I would rather travel by train

Hi Dear @mir and thanks for you have helped me a lot;

So regarding your answer you are quite sure that there should be no "ing" after the verb in the structure above? Cause I remember from so many years back () that this structure needs a verb with "ing" !

And with the word PREFER which one of these are correct then?

I prefer traveling by train

I prefer to travel by train


Yours kindly

Hey buddy,
Long time no see!
What happened to weekly scientific contests?!l

Beyond the shadow of a doubt, after would rather, bare form of the verb should be used

You have 3 chioces:
1) prefer + gerund
2) would rather + bare verb
3) would prefer + to +bare verb

I prefer going to unisex party to attending funeral cereminies
I would rather go to unisex party than attend funeral ceremonies
I would prefer to go to unisex party rather than attend funeral ceremonies

Wish you best of lucks

Hello again !

I have saved all the stuff so I will be able to refer them on case later!

Thanks for clearing this up for me. It really was struggling with my mind for quite sometime!

And about the weekly contest we had before; it's in progress and modification!

It will be available with an entire new frame as soon as I would be able to get rid of my personal occupations !!

Maybe in new year then ...

Anyway thanks a lot again and wish you best in every single moment of your life

Yours Kindly : Dianella

hi. I do believe that having only one international language can be very useful, because people all around the world can be able to communicate with each other much more easier so that everybody knows to speak in which language
on the other hand, each language is the representative of its own culture, history and people so by learning the language of each country we respected them; cosequently, if you are able to learn several languages to comunicate with several types of people, do so

About your first question the correct choice would be number one. For short questions you have to use the exact verb which is used in the main sentence.

The second question also will be number one.

number 3 is the right one.
