Dolphins: verbo seguido de gerúndio (B1)

Dolphins are famous for their intelligence, but people often forget how complex their social life is. They live in groups, help injured members and seem to enjoy ___ with objects they find in the water. Researchers have recorded hundreds of different whistles, and each animal appears to have its own personal sound, almost like a name. Unfortunately, fishing nets kill thousands of dolphins every year, and noise from ships makes communication difficult. Several countries have decided to create protected areas where boats must reduce their speed.

  1. A) playing
  2. B) to play
  3. C) play
  4. D) to playing
  5. E) played
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: A

O verbo "enjoy" pertence ao grupo de verbos que só aceitam gerúndio (-ing) como complemento, como "avoid", "finish" e "mind". Por isso "to play" e "play" estão errados, já que "enjoy" nunca é seguido de infinitivo com ou sem "to". "To playing" e "played" não formam estrutura possível depois desse verbo.
