Than or to?

Are the following sentences correct? What's the difference between 'than' and 'to' in this case? Does anything change?

e.g. I prefer English to Maths.
I prefer English than Maths.
  

Top answer

Hi "To" is correct. We use "than" with other comparative words like "rather" or "better". So, the correct one - I prefer English to Maths.
