Préférer- conditional

I wrote préférerais, but it was corrected to préfèrerais. I looked up the dictionaries, and the former is given a s correct.

This question relates to:French dictation exercise "At the laundrette"

Bonjour S,

You're absolutely right that there are 2 possible spellings in this case (Since the 1990 Spelling Reform). However, if you listen to the sentence again, the person is clearly saying "préfèrerais". So the answer "préférerais" cannot be accepted.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
