Help with expressions
Hi, there
Could you help me? Please
1) Do you say "I don't care for it very much" or "I don't much care for it"? "I much prefer it" or "I really prefer it"?
2) Are "designer clothes" the same as "name brand clothes", like Armani, Tommy Hilfiger"?
3) Would you say "What would be the prize for someone like me" or "What would the prize be for someone like me?"
Thank you!

Some people say, "Oh, she would be a real prize!" or "Oh, he would be a real prize!" when they talk about someone you might marry. I was wondering because "What would be the prize?" would be talking about a prize you might win. If it is "What would be the prize for someone like me?" I was curious about adding "for someone like me." Generally, the question would just be, "What would be the prize for choosing the right number?" or "What would be the prize for the person who has the winning ticket?"

You could say both " I don't care for it very much" or "I don't much care for it", but the first sounds like a much more American way of saying it, whereas the second sounds more British.
For your second question, "I really prefer it" sounds much more natural, whereas "I much prefer it" sounds rather awkwardly-phrased.
2) Are "designer clothes" the same as "name brand clothes", like Armani, Tommy Hilfiger"?
Most people would likely consider "designer clothes" to be the same as name-brand clothes like Aramni, Gucci, Versace, etc.
3) Would you say "What would be the prize for someone like me" or "What would the prize be for someone like me?"
Both of these sentences sound fine.

1) "I don't care for it very much" is great. The other way to say what you wrote would take a slightly different word order: "I don't much care for it." Then the next one, I would say, "I much prefer this over that." and the last one is fine as it is, "I really prefer it."
2) I hear "Designer clothes" all the time to mean Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, etc. People do say name brand clothes to mean those as well.
3) What's the context for the prize? Is it related to a romantic interest? Both of those quotes would work.
