Hi, 'Enjoy' goes with gerunds; ' John enjoys collecting [not to collect] stamps'. Below is a partial list of verbs that go with gerunds only.
"admit, appreciate, avoid, deny, discuss, enjoy, escape, finish, imagine, miss, postpone, practice, quit, recall, resist, risk, suggest, tolerate." - Diana Hacker.
Best wishes, Hoa Thai
