Is the [STRIKE]above[/STRIKE] title sentence [STRIKE]write[/STRIKE] right or wrong?

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Neither sentence is correct. The sentence in the title has no closing punctuation mark and you need something after "enjoyed".

I enjoyed today and I learnt a lot.
I have enjoyed today and I have learnt a lot.

The verb "enjoy" is transitive. Do you know what that means, Ali Kazi? :)

No, teechar.
What is a transitive verb?
A transitive verb requires an object. So in the sentences provided by emsr2d2, "today" is the object. In your sentence in post #1, the verb "enjoy" had no object. Do you follow me? :)

You could also say Today, I have enjoyed the class/lesson, etc.
