Using the word "enjoy" is a simple way to say you like something or have fun doing something! For Class 1, we use it in easy sentences about things we like.
What Does 'Enjoy' Mean?
When you enjoy something, it makes you happy! It means you like it a lot and have a good time with it.
Simple Ways to Use 'Enjoy'
For Class 1, you can use "enjoy" in a few simple ways:
- You enjoy a thing: You like a toy, food, or a book.
- I enjoy my book.

- You enjoy doing something: You like an activity like playing or reading.
- I enjoy playing.
- We enjoy reading.
- Telling someone to enjoy something: Wishing them a good time.

Using 'Enjoy' with Actions (-ing words)
A common way to use enjoy is with an action word that ends in "-ing". This is called a gerund.
- You enjoy playing.
- You enjoy reading.
- You enjoy drawing.
Look at these examples from the references:
- I enjoy playing basketball. (Correct - uses -ing)
- I enjoy to play basketball. (Not the usual way)
So, when you talk about an action you like, use the "-ing" form after enjoy.
Using 'Enjoy' with Things or Events
You can also enjoy a thing or an event directly.
Look at these examples from the references:
- I hope you enjoy your trip. (Correct - 'your trip' is the thing/event)
- I hope you enjoy with your trip. (Not the usual way)
- Thanks. I really enjoyed it. (Correct - 'it' is the thing)

This shows you usually need to say what you enjoy right after the word enjoy.
