Can I use this construction with an infinitive as the "object" of the liking?
I know how to use aimer + infinitive to express liking. J'aime manger! Par exemple. How about Manger me plait? Probably not, but just wondering.
This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing you like something/someone in French with the verb "plaire""

Hi Stuart,
You can do but more in written form although the 'manger me plaît' seems a bit strange to me using this structure.
I think you would say: " J'aime manger"...
You might say, "Danser le tango me plaît énormément" ...
Hope this helps!

You would probably want to say -
C'est ce que je croyais = That's what I thought
