The modal-like verb 'woleć' (to prefer) is imperfective, and interestingly does not have a perfective counterpart. It conjugates regularly (e.g., 'wolę', 'wolisz', 'woli'). It requires a direct object in the accusative case ('wolę kawę' — I prefer coffee) or an infinitive. To say 'prefer X to Y', use 'woleć X od Y' (using 'od' + genitive) or 'woleć X niż Y'.
