Question

She enjoys .................. poetry in her free time.

• A. reading
• B. reads
• C. read
• D. to read

Hint:

After verbs like "enjoy," use the gerund (-ing form) to describe activities.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the verb "enjoys" and its object.
After the verb "enjoys," we use the gerund form of the verb (ending in -ing) to express an activity that someone likes to do.
Step 2: Analyze each option.
- (A) reading: Correct. "Reading" is the gerund form of the verb "read," and it correctly follows "enjoys."
- (B) reads: Incorrect. "Reads" is the present simple tense, not the gerund form.
- (C) read: Incorrect. "Read" is the base form, and after "enjoys," we need the gerund form.
- (D) to read: Incorrect. "To read" is the infinitive form, but "enjoys" is followed by a gerund, not an infinitive.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct sentence is "She enjoys reading poetry in her free time."
