Hallo liebe Lions,
in meiner Grammatik steht, das nach "would like", "would love"," would hate" und "would prefer" immer der Infinitiv stehen muss.
Wie ist es jedoch mit "would enjoy"? z.B. in dem Satz: "I would enjoy going/to go to the cinema with you." Das Verb "enjoy" erfordert ja eigentlich immer Gerund. Ändert sich dies aufgrund des vorangestellten "would" wie bei den oben aufgelisteten Verben?
Herzlich Dank für eure Hilfe!
Since no one else is biting...
Without knowing any "rules"/patterns for this, my NES instinct says that "would enjoy" would typically be followed by a gerund.
Agree: would enjoy + gerund
I would say that same would also apply without the "would", and indeed for any tense and mood.
