Can I write it as
I prefer eating fruits than to eat a lot of unhealthy junk foods

Answer 1

Yes, you can write it like that but with a little modification, as "I prefer eating fruits rather than eating a lot of unhealthy junk food".

Explanation:

• Sometimes instructions are given to change the given sentences in English grammar.

• As we are directed to add "easy" at the beginning of the sentence, the meaning of the sentence should remain the same.

• When we add easy in the beginning the sentence can be turned into negative or positive or vice verse.

• The punctuation should be kept in mind as improper use of punctuation can change the meaning of the sentence.

Answer 2

Correct sentence:

I would prefer to eat fruit rather than a lot of unhealthy junk food.

Explanation:

• The word "prefer" is used to express the preference. Here, the words "would prefer" is used.
• When prefer is used, then "to-infinitive" is always used with it. Here, the verb used is "to eat."
• Here, there is comparison of two food namely healthy fruit and unhealthy junk food.
