prefer/rather

[worcester]

Hi everyone,

Are these sentences correct? I am more concerned about the second one.

1. I'd rather you called him.
2. I'd prefer you to call him.

Thank you.

They're both correct, only if you change the position of the apostrophe in your first sentence.

They are both correct.

Thank you.

You can also use: "I'd prefer that you call him".

As you said, then where the apostrophe should be put in the first sentence?

The mistake has already been corrected.

You can also use: "I'd prefer that you call him".

Or I'd prefer it if you called him.

I guess in the USA, they'd also say I'd prefer for you to call him.
