Çözüm:
💡 The goal here is to express the same idea using different grammatical structures for likes and dislikes.
- ➡️ Sentence 1: "I find swimming very enjoyable" means "I get a lot of pleasure from swimming." The verb we must use is 'enjoy'. The structure is Subject + enjoy + verb-ing. So, the correct transformation is: I enjoy swimming.
- ➡️ Sentence 2: "He has no interest in..." is a strong way to say he doesn't like it. The phrase we must use is 'is not interested in'. The structure is Subject + be verb + not + interested in + verb-ing. So, the correct transformation is: He is not interested in playing video games.
- ➡️ Sentence 3: "We think reading books is boring" means we do not like reading books. The verb we must use is 'like' in the negative form. The structure is Subject + do not + like + verb-ing. So, the correct transformation is: We don't like reading books.
✅ The rewritten sentences are: I enjoy swimming., He is not interested in playing video games., We don't like reading books.
