Diaa uses the word properly. Note that his examples involve a choice. Take care when using the word to be certain people have a choice. Just because a group of people, for example, engage in a certain activity does not necessarily reflect a preference if they have no real choice.

you can use it as a verb to indicate that you have a vantage of something for example :- i prefer to go to cinema than playing with my friends. example 2 :- i prefer to play basketball than playing football . and so on ..

Hi. I'd say "I prefer something to something", or in case of actions or activities, I would say " I prefer watching TV to playing sports." It is similar to the expression " I'd rather watch TV than play sports". They are similar but they have a slight difference as to the timing in expressing them.

Hi there, You can say I prefer Coke to Pepsi. = I like Coke more than Pepsi. Or to answer a question: What do you like better Coke or Pepsi? I prefer Coke.
