Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence

The students enjoyed to play in the rain.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (C) enjoyed playing in the rain

Concept (Gerund after Enjoy) Enjoy के बाद हमेशा gerund (V-ing) आता है, infinitive नहीं। Avoid, finish और mind के लिए भी यही पैटर्न लागू होता है। अतः 'enjoyed to play' के स्थान पर enjoyed playing आएगा।
✓ सही वाक्य: The students enjoyed playing in the rain.
Concept (Gerund after Enjoy) Enjoy is always followed by a gerund (V-ing), never an infinitive. Remember the same pattern for verbs such as avoid, finish and mind.
✓ Correct sentence The students enjoyed playing in the rain.
