Why can't I say “I want to enjoy this opportunity”?

Actually, you can, but if the meaning is not similar to like, you should consider using it another way to express that.

We often mistake the use of the verb enjoy in specific contexts because of the many possible applications to it in Portuguese. Don't worry, Lexis Bites of this week will help with that!

Lexis Bites is a series of short episodes on topics we get asked by students and listeners. If there is something you would like some help with regarding English, drop us a message!
