1 answer

The verb "preferir" (to prefer) is a stem-changing verb in the present tense. Its conjugation is as follows:

  • Yo prefiero
  • Tú prefieres
  • Él/Ella/Usted prefiere
  • Nosotros/Nosotras preferimos
  • Vosotros/Vosotras preferís
  • Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes prefieren

In the conjugation, the stem "prefer-" changes to "prefier-" in all forms except for "nosotros" and "vosotros." This change occurs in the present tense, making it a stem-changing verb (specifically, an e:ie change).
