Neither is correct. Do you mean this?

'I hope you always enjoy remembering this moment.'

I'm sorry...it was a little mistake in my question

I mean >> "Hope you always feel enjoyed as this moment". Is it right to use "enjoyed"? I want to make a sentence with "enjoyed" and if that is not right can you give me any suggestion?

And thanks Clive for your suggestion. But i'd really like to know more about the structure above >> "I hope you always enjoy remembering this moment" << I can get all parts beside this word "remembering". What role does it play in the sentence? [Because as i know, as by forms, some verbs adding "-ing" may play the role of an conjunction in a structure and it of course has its own meaning when it is a conjunction, /providing, regarding or concerning for ins./, but in many cases when it's a long sentence we can simplify a sentence by adding "-ing" to the unimportant verbs. However, the adding doesn't change the verb to a conjunction and it serves to make the sentence sound softer /for example 'Leaves falling, air smelling of crisp apples, ans white clouds billowing against the sky, no other season matches autumn'/]. So what case is of "remembering"?

/And I'm not so confident with my English so please excuse me in case my words confuse you. Just leave a comment to let me know

Many thanks,

Hi,

I see no meaning in this.

Is it right to use "enjoyed"? I want to make a sentence with "enjoyed" and if that is not right can you give me any suggestion?

eg Tom enjoyed the movie.

eg The movie was enjoyed by Tom.

eg Tom amused the children. The children enjoyed Tom.

eg Tom amused the children. Tom was enjoyed by the children. (This is not wrong, but sounds rather awkward.)

>> "I hope you always enjoy remembering this moment" << I can get all parts beside this word "remembering". What role does it play in the sentence?

In this sentence, 'remembering' is a gerund.

To illustrate that, I could replace it with a noun and simply say eg "I hope you always enjoy chocolate'.

Or I could say eg "Remembering this moment is the thing that I hope you always enjoy remembering".

Okay thanks Clive i know what a gerund is and now i see the point of 'remembering'.

But back to main question, i also know what 'enjoy' is and i got the point of your examples for this..but i am a little confused because in all the examples given, 'enjoyed' appears as a verb (in the past tense and passive voice -- for the second one) when i am trying using it as an adjective / a past participle verb? Can it be? [maybe i'm asking about the not-wrong-but-awkward one]

And this is the situation >> there is a friend who i haven't seen for a long time and whose life has been pretty busy. But when i saw her again by accident, i asked her how shes been doing and she said she was enjoying her life as much as possible. I was so happy and when we said goodbye, i wanted to wish her to always enjoy every moment of her life as when we met.

So any idea for me?

Thanks,
Trang

I see a painted wall. Sure, you can use a past participle as an adjective.

He had an enjoyed life. But in this example. it just sounds odd. It also sounds like he is dead.

We'd be more likely to say it some other way, eg He had an enjoyable life / He enjoyed his life.

eg Enjoy your life.

eg Go on enjoying your life.
