Lesson 338--Car Vocabulary: Round Things

I like cars and I am sure some of you who follow these lessons do too.  I would like to take the time to help you improve your car vocabulary.  There are several round things in cars that we need to have the right vocabulary for.  These include:

wheels

tires/tyres



wheels with tires (tyres)

I don't want to forget the most important "wheel" in the car
the steering wheel

Lesson 293--using prefer


Prefer is a great verb to use because it can be followed by so many things and it can make some great sentences

Prefer + gerund

I prefer walking.

I prefer flying.

Prefer + nouns

I prefer the Playstation.

I prefer pizza.

Of course, the best thing is that you can make longer sentences using the comparative preposition "to"

I prefer flying to driving.

I prefer pizza to any other food.

You can also use infinitives, but you should not use the preposition "to" because it is very confusing.

I prefer to walk

I prefer to eat pizza.

When using would, the infinitive is prefered.

I'd prefer to walk home tonight.

I would prefer to watch the new Xmen movie.
