Note
One spelling does two jobs here: she enjoyed it is the past tense, and she has enjoyed it uses the participle after have. Because the verb normally takes an object, the participle can also form passives, as in the view was enjoyed by all. The older "use or benefit" meaning survives in phrases like enjoyed good health or enjoyed full rights. Indian English also allows it with no object: we really enjoyed.
