[Grammar] Prefer + to inf. / gerund ?

[chutanphat]

I have trouble using prefer + to infinitive or + V.ing.

Could anyone tell me the differences between them?

Thank you.

There is no siginificant difference in meaning between I prefer doing and I prefer to do. If we prefer one thing to another, then we use the gerund:

I prefer walking to riding.
