UNIT 7B LEVEL 4_2025

The verb "enjoy" must always be followed by a gerund (-ing form), not an infinitive (to + verb).

💡 Rule: Some verbs (like enjoy, dislike, avoid, finish) are always followed by a gerund, not an infinitive.

Explanation:

• "Playing" comes from the verb "play", but here it acts like a noun (the subject of the sentence).

• A gerund is a verb + "-ing" that functions as a noun.

• In this sentence, "Playing the piano" is the subject, and "Playing" is the gerund.

After verbs that express preference (like love), we use the gerund form of the next verb (verb + -ing).
