Hello,

Which sentence is correct and why?
She prefers to spend her free time alone rather than hang out with her friends;
or she prefers to spend her free time alone rather than to hang out with her friends.
Thank you for your help |

Rather than hang out... Sorry I �d found a very funny cartoon saying just that but I can �t insert it!You �ll have to believe me (according to Google, both are possible but still, "rather than hang out" sounds far better to my ears)
