B1-B2 Expressing preferences

In this post we’re going to see some expressions that you can use to ask about and express preferences. Pay attention, above all, to the verb patterns that we use after each verb or modal. You have a short dialogue as an example and, for some extra practice, a short activity where you must complete the text with the correct verb form.
