prefer

[bosun]

Which verb form is correct after would rather to go out or go out?

I prefer to stay at home rather than to go out.
I prefer to stay at home rather go out.

You would actually need to write this:

"I prefer to stay at home rather than go out."

 

[xplorer]

I believe you could also express the same thought by saying:

I prefer staying at home to going out.
