Answer 1

1. The verb preferir is conjugated as follows in the Present Tense:
- Yo prefiero
- Tú prefieres
- Él/Ella/Usted prefiere
- Nosotros/Nosotras preferimos
- Vosotros/Vosotras preferís
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes prefieren

2. The stem-changing in the verb preferir occurs in the second and third person singular forms (tú and él/ella/usted), where the -e in the stem changes to -ie. This is a characteristic of stem-changing verbs in the present tense, where the vowel in the stem changes in certain forms.
