would
Is this fine grammatically:
"If this is possible, we would prefer to do it."
"If we can avoid it, we would prefer to do so."
Is the "would" okay here? I left it there, but just want to make sure. Thank you.

Anonymouswould prefer toThis is another variant of the idiom "would like to". It's fine even with an if-clause in the present tense.
