I didn't like him taking all the credit.
Would you please show me some more other examples in such a way that I could get its concept or construction better?– although I almost know what this sentence means.
What is more, I am wondering if we must use always pronounce after like or we could use any subject.
Many thanks

This type of sentence is used to indicate our feelings either about an action, though the construction is used in a number of other cases as well. (ex: I saw him playing at the park.)
In general,
Examples:
In general, Bill enjoys watching dogs play.
In general, she gets very upset when people touch her things.
John has joined the military and Dad is unhappy about that fact.
In general, many fathers are not happy that their daughters go on dates.
Using the possessive is more natural in some cases, but it has a slightly different meaning.
Sentence 1 means that Bill likes the fact that Sarah is singing. Perhaps she was shy, but now that she has sung in public she is less so and sings more often now. It doesn't mean that Sarah's voice is pleasant, necessarily, only that the act of her singing brings Bill pleasure.
Sentence 2 means that Bill enjoys the actual music that Sarah produces.
