We use "graduate from" before the name or type of school or university.

The verb "enjoy" is followed by a gerund, so "skating" is correct.

Wrong!
After "have trouble", we use a gerund, so "finding" is correct.
5I ............... him yesterday.
Wrong!
With the finished time expression "yesterday", the simple past "met" is correct.
