• Yo prefiero (I prefer)
• Tú prefieres (You prefer - informal)
• Él/Ella/Usted prefiere (He/She/You prefer - formal)
• Nosotros/Nosotras preferimos (We prefer)
• Vosotros/Vosotras preferís (You all prefer - informal in Spain)

2. In the conjugation of preferir, the stem changes from "prefer-" to "prefier-" in some forms. This means that when we say "yo," "tú," "él," "ella," and "ustedes," we replace the "e" in "preferir" with "ie" to make it sound different.
