Help the exhausted boyfriend negotiate his weekend plans by choosing the most natural phrasing for his text message.
"Look, I love spending time with you, but I would rather _________________________ at home today than trek through the mud. I just prefer watching movies _________________________ climbing mountains in the pouring rain. Honestly, I'm simply not very keen _________________________ waking up at 5 AM on a Saturday!"
The correct answers are stay, to, and on.
would rather + bare infinitive: We use "would rather" followed by the base form of the verb (without "to") to express a specific preference.
prefer + noun/gerund + to + noun/gerund: When comparing two general preferences using "prefer," we link them with the preposition "to," not "than."
keen on: The adjective "keen" pairs with the preposition "on" to express that you like or are interested in something.
