It depends on the context: (a) “That band has some good easy listening music”; or (b) “I am listening to that band’s music.”

Both are fine. Though in both cases, listening is the -ing form of the verb listen, in (a) listening is more of an adjective than a verb and in (b) it is a part of the verb complex am listening.

For simple verbal use, “I listen the music” would be ungrammatical, and the correction would be “I listen to the music.” But! In an intransitive sentence the to goes away: “I listen carefully” is good and “I listen to carefully” would be bad.

She did not play with her toys anymore

She participated in different tournament

Specific detail one

Having watched the older children opening their gifts, I already knew that the big gifts were not necessarily the nicest ones. One girl my age got a large coloring book of biblical characters, while a less greedy girl who selected a smaller box received a glass vial of lavender toilet water.

Specific detail two

I found out about all the whys later. I read the rules and looked up all the big words in a dictionary. I borrowed books from the Chinatown library. I studied each chess piece, trying to absorb the power each contained. I learned about opening moves and why it's important to control the center early on; the shortest distance between two points is straight down the middle. I learned about the middle game and why tactics between two adversaries are like clashing ideas; the one who plays better has the clearest plans for both attacking and getting out of traps. I learned why it is essential in the endgame to have foresight, a mathematical understanding of all possible moves, and patience; all weaknesses and advantages become evident to a strong adversary and are obscured to a tiring opponent. I discovered that for the whole game one must gather invisible strengths and see the endgame before the game begins.
