Actually, it is usually a verb, but it can also be an adjective. When it is a verb, the infinitive is "to prefer" and the word "preferred" is the past tense. "She preferred chocolate ice cream, but all they had in the shop was vanilla." However, the word can also sometimes become an adjective, meaning something that is your preference: "My preferred plan is that we hold the meeting on Friday, but you may not agree."
