They don’t like fish, ___?
A
do they?
B
don't they?
C
did they?
D
didn't they?
উত্তরের বিবরণ
Correct Answer: ক) do they?
-
মূল বাক্য: They don’t like fish → এটি একটি negative sentence।
-
Tag question-এ, যদি মূল বাক্য negative হয়, tag হবে positive।
-
মূল verb don’t হওয়ায়, question tag-এ ব্যবহার হবে do।
-
Subject they tag-এ অপরিবর্তিত থাকবে।
-
সুতরাং সঠিক tag question: They don’t like fish, do they?
Other options:
-
খ) don't they? → এটি negative tag, যা negative বাক্যে ব্যবহার করা যায় না; ভুল।
-
গ) did they? → মূল verb present tense-এ, তাই past tense did ব্যবহার ভুল।
-
ঘ) didn't they? → past tense এবং negative tag, তাই ভুল।

Everybody has some desire. (Interrogative)
Created: 1 month ago
A
Who has some desire?
B
Who has no desire?
C
Who does not have some desire?
D
Who is not desiring?
The correct answer: খ) Who has no desire?
-
Assertive: Everybody has some desire.
-
Interrogative: Who has no desire? বা Who does not have any desire?
Assertive → Interrogative রূপান্তরের নিয়ম:
-
Assertive-এ যদি everyone/everybody + verb থাকে, তাহলে Interrogative-এ হয়: Who + (Auxiliary verb) + not + verb।
Examples:
-
Ass: Everyone likes flowers. → Int: Who does not like flowers?
-
Ass: Everyone must die. → Int: Who will not die?
-
Ass: Everybody has some needs. → Int: Who has no needs?
-
Ass: Everybody is greedy. → Int: Who is not greedy?
Other options:
-
ক) Who has some desire? → Affirmative question, মূল বাক্যের মানে অনুসারে ভুল।
-
গ) Who does not have some desire? → ভুল, কারণ negative বাক্যে some এর পরিবর্তে any বা no ব্যবহার হয়।
-
ঘ) Who is not desiring? → ভুল এবং অস্বাভাবিক, কারণ desire এখানে abstract noun, সাধারণ verb নয়।

I know nothing about his plan. (Interrogative)
Created: 1 month ago
A
Do I know anything about his plan?
B
Did I know anything about his plan?
C
Have I known anything about his plan?
D
Do I know nothing about his plan?
The correct answer is - ক) Do I know anything about his plan?
Assertive থেকে Interrogative করার নিয়ম:
-
Assertive বাক্যে nothing থাকলে interrogative বাক্যে anything ব্যবহার করা হয়।
উদাহরণ:
-
Ass.: There is nothing on the table. (টেবিলের উপর কিছু নেই।)
Int.: Is there anything on the table? (টেবিলের উপর কি কিছু আছে?) -
Ass.: I know nothing about it. (আমি এ ব্যাপারে কিছু জানি না)
Int.: Do I know anything about it? (আমি কি এ ব্যাপারে কিছু জানি?) -
Ass.: He said nothing. (সে কিছু বলল না)
Int.: Did he say anything? (সে কি কিছু বলেছিল?) -
Ass.: There is nothing better than honesty.
Int.: Is there anything better than honesty?
Other options:
খ) Did I know anything about his plan?
-
Tense বদলে গেছে (past tense), মূল বাক্য present tense-এ ছিল।
গ) Have I known anything about his plan?
-
Present perfect tense ব্যবহার করা হয়েছে, মূল বাক্যের সঙ্গে সামঞ্জস্য নেই।
ঘ) Do I know nothing about his plan?
-
Double negative হয়েছে, যা সাধারণত grammatical বা awkward শোনায়।

She studies in order to get a scholarship. (compound)
Created: 1 month ago
A
She studies and get a scholarship.
B
Study and she gets a scholarship.
C
She studies and she will get a scholarship.
D
She studied and she get a scholarship.
The correct answer: গ) She studies and she will get a scholarship.
Rule: Simple → Compound Sentence (with purpose clauses):
-
Simple Sentence-এ যদি to + verb (যেমন: to succeed, to pass, to win) কোনো উদ্দেশ্য প্রকাশ করে, অথবা in order to ব্যবহৃত হয়, তাহলে compound sentence-এ রূপান্তরের নিয়ম:
-
in order to + verb থেকে to বাদ দিতে হবে।
-
বাক্যের প্রথম অংশকে Imperative বা মূল ক্রিয়ার অংশ হিসেবে রূপান্তর করতে হবে।
-
এরপর and (subject + will) বসিয়ে বাক্যের দ্বিতীয় অংশ যুক্ত করতে হবে।
-
Examples:
-
Simple: Do it in order to get money. → Compound: Do it and (you will) get money.
-
Simple: Study hard in order to pass the exam. → Compound: Study hard and (you will) pass the exam.
-
Simple: You must work hard in order to succeed. → Compound: Work hard and you will succeed.
Other options:
-
ক) She studies and get a scholarship. → Verb form ভুল, grammatical ভুল।
-
খ) Study and she gets a scholarship. → “Study” imperative রূপ; বাক্য অসম্পূর্ণ বা অর্থবোধক নয়।
-
ঘ) She studied and she get a scholarship. → Verb form ভুল, সঠিক হবে she gets।
