Dear teachers,

"In my after class time, I enjoy improving my basketball skills the most."

can I inverted the sentence as shown below?


"In my after class time, I enjoy the most to improve my basketball skills."
"In my after class time, I enjoy the most improving my basketball skills." [/quote]

hw,

No! Your inverted sentences would not make sense to native speakers.

Of the three sentences you have given us,
"In my after class time, I enjoy improving my basketball skills the most." is your best choice.

hw,

YES! I would say: "After class, I really enjoy playing basketball."

I added the word 'playing' for emphasis. I can 'enjoy basketball' by going to a game, by cheering for my favorite team, or watching it on TV... but I really 'enjoy PLAYING' basketball!

Cheers,

Dear Amigos4,

If I want to point out "playing basketball is the thing which I enjoy most intensely" in the sentence above,

what will the sentence look like?

hw,

There are a couple of things you could do to intensify your statement.
First, select the most intense word(s) you can think of to drive home the point: "I am absolutely passionate about playing basketball!"
Next, you could underline, bold print, or capitalize key words: "I really enjoy playing basketball!"
Next, a little hyperbole added to your sentence always makes a nice touch: "From the time I wake up until the time I go to bed, I do nothing else but think about how awesome I am at playing basketball! They don't call me Michael Jordan, Jr. for nothing"

Enjoy!
