Default Re: using 'enjoy'

Italians say this a lot too. All the more surprising as it's quite difficult to enjoy watching Italian television .....

It's odd. The general statement is fine in the present I enjoy watching TV, I enjoy watching documentaries but doesn't work in the past. Yet you can use enjoy in the past to talk about a specific event : I enjoyed watching the documentary but I didn't enjoy the film.

This one has me stumped I'm afraid.
