I prefer driving rather than travelling.

Is the following pattern grammatically correct?

I prefer driving rather than travelling.

 

[Tarheel]

Is the following pattern grammatically correct?

I prefer driving TO travelling.

It doesn't make much sense, but now it's grammatically correct.

 

[Flask]

Is the following pattern grammatically correct?

As Tarheel indicates, no, it isn't. But "rather than" can be used with infinitive complements of "prefer."

For exercise, I prefer to run rather than walk. (For exercise, I prefer running to walking.)

@toloue_man You now know the correct way to use prefer but your main sentence doesn't make sense. Driving is a way of travelling from one place to another. What did you mean by "travelling"?

@toloue_man , please respond to my question (post #6) in the following thread to avoid further action.

Who vs whom

I am solving some tests. Strangely, the book answer sheet tells that "me" in the following sentence is wrong but doesn't give the right answer which is probably "I". But my question is that why? That was me whom you saw on the train.
