Question

Select the most appropriate option to improve the bold part of the sentence.
We enjoyed during the party last night.

A.

have enjoyed in party

B.

enjoyed ourselves at the party

C.

had enjoyment during party

D.

enjoyed in the party

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) enjoyed ourselves at the party.
Explanation: When enjoy is used intransitively to mean “have a good time,” standard usage takes the reflexive pronoun: enjoy oneself (I enjoyed myself / We enjoyed ourselves). The correct preposition with events is at ( at the party), not in or during here. Thus, We enjoyed ourselves at the party last night is grammatical and idiomatic.
Grammatical rule used:
· Enjoy + reflexive pronoun for “have a good time” (S + enjoyed + oneself).
· Preposition with events/occasions: at (at the party/wedding/concert).
· Example: They enjoyed themselves at the wedding.
· Information booster: Enjoy + object is used when a direct object follows ( enjoy the movie/meal). Without a direct object, use enjoy oneself; avoid in the party—prefer at the party.
