He usually prefers ____ (stay) at home on Friday night.答案给的是staying为什么不是prefer to do

He usually prefers ____ (stay) at home on Friday night.答案给的是staying为什么不是prefer to do

只能说staying 更好.prefer 有两个句型：
1.prefer to do sth.rather than do sth.
2.prefer doing sth.to doing sth.
如果原句没有usually,两个答案都对.因为有了usually,从说话的逻辑上讲,staying更好.这时,prefer的意思和用法更像like.

prefer to do 表示一时性的喜欢
prefer doing表示长时间的，一贯性的喜欢

扩展：

一.含有ing句型:
1. keep doing
2. keep /carry on doing
3. keep sb. Doing
4. enjoy doing
5. finish doing ...

和like to do ,like doing一样

填to stay 也对，只不过这个空只能填一个单词，自然要填staying了。就是这个道理。

学习是一件愉快的事！ (*^__^*)
请及时采纳，多谢！

两个短语意思基本相同，
prefer to do 表示一时性的喜欢
prefer doing表示长时间的，一贯性的喜欢


从题看，he usually....（他通常....）就表明是长时间的，一贯性的喜欢，并非一时性的喜欢。 所以填staying，希望对你有帮助 ^
