Mark was asking if you enjoy /you're enjoying your new job.

Hello.

What is the difference in meaning between these sentences?

- Mark was asking if you enjoy your new job.
- Mark was asking if you're enjoying your new job.

Is enjoy a stative verb?

Thanks.

"Enjoy" is not a stative verb. The only difference between the sentences is that you en j oy is in present tense, and you're enjoying is in the present continuous tense. Present-continuous means that you're doing it now .
