A
He said that he had been working since morning.
B
He said that he has been working since morning.
C
He said that he was working since morning.
D
He said that he worked since morning.
উত্তরের বিবরণ
nswer: ক) He said that he had been working since morning.
মূল বাক্য: He said, "I have been working since morning."
এটি Present Perfect Continuous Tense (have been working)।
Reporting verb said past tense হলে, reported speech-এ tense এক ধাপ পিছিয়ে যায় → Past Perfect Continuous।
সুতরাং: have been working → had been working।
সঠিক Indirect Speech: He said that he had been working since morning.
Other options:
খ) He has been working… → Present Perfect Continuous রেখেছে, তাই ভুল।
গ) He was working… → Past Continuous হয়েছে, tense shift ভুল।
ঘ) He worked… → Simple Past হয়েছে, tense এবং অর্থ হারিয়েছে।

A
He had better taken an umbrella.
B
He had better took an umbrella.
C
He had better taking an umbrella.
D
He had better take an umbrella.
Correct Sentence:
He had better take an umbrella.
Had better = তবুও / বরং ভালো
যদিও বাক্যটি past tense-এর মতো শোনায়, এটি মূলত past tense নয়।
Had better unreal past; এটি present বা future tense বোঝাতে ব্যবহৃত হয়।
Had better-এর পরে to + infinitive বসে না।
সর্বদা verb-এর base form ব্যবহার করা হয়।
We had better check the weather before going hiking.
You had better be careful with that glass vase.
I had better get some sleep—I have a big day tomorrow.

You used to play cricket, ___?
Created: 17 hours ago
A
didn’t you?
B
don’t you?
C
do you?
D
won’t you?
Correct Answer: ক) didn’t you?
মূল বাক্য: You used to play cricket, ___?
Used to বোঝায় কোনো কাজ আগে নিয়মিত করা হতো, কিন্তু এখন আর করা হয় না।
যখন used to ব্যবহৃত হয়, তখন tag question হয় didn’t you?
Used to অতীতকাল বোঝায়, তাই tag-এ did ব্যবহার হয়।
অন্যান্য অপশন যেমন don’t you, do you, বা won’t you বর্তমান বা ভবিষ্যৎ বোঝায়, যা এখানে প্রযোজ্য নয়।
সুতরাং সঠিক tag question: You used to play cricket, didn’t you?
Other options:
খ) don’t you? → বর্তমান বোঝায়, অতীতের used to এর সঙ্গে মিল নেই।
গ) do you? → বর্তমান কালের প্রশ্ন, তাই ভুল।
ঘ) won’t you? → ভবিষ্যৎ বোঝায়, বাক্যটি অতীতকাল, তাই ভুল।
