We need to conjugate the verb *preferir* (prefer) to correct preterite tense form. Since the subject of the first phrase is *yo* (I), we will use the first-person singular form of *preferir*, which is “preferí”.

Note that the verb *preferir *(prefer) has an **e->i** stem change in the third-person singular and plural forms. The “-ir” verbs that have a stem change in the present form also have a stem change in the preterite form.
