A
didn’t you?
B
don’t you?
C
do you?
D
won’t you?
উত্তরের বিবরণ
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।

No sooner had he reached the station than the train left. (affirmative)
Created: 16 hours ago
A
As soon as he reaches the station, the train left.
B
As soon as he was reaching the station, the train left.
C
As soon as he reached the station, the train left.
D
As soon as he had reached the station, the train had left.
The correct answer: গ) As soon as he reached the station, the train left.
-
অর্থ: যে মুহূর্তে তিনি স্টেশনে পৌঁছালেন, ট্রেন চলে গেল।
Rule for Negative → Affirmative:
-
Negative sentence No sooner had… দিয়ে শুরু হলে affirmative sentence-এ as soon as… ব্যবহার করা হয়।
-
Affirmative-এ যে দুটি clause যুক্ত হবে, তাতে past perfect tense ব্যবহার হয় না, সাধারণ past tense থাকে।
Examples:
-
Neg.: No sooner had I arrived home than it began to rain.
-
Aff.: As soon as I arrived home, it began to rain.
-
-
Neg.: No sooner had she heard the news than she started weeping.
-
Aff.: As soon as she heard the news, she started weeping.
-
-
Neg.: No sooner had I wanted to catch the bird than it flew away.
-
Aff.: As soon as I wanted to catch the bird, it flew away.
-
Other options:
-
ক) As soon as he reaches the station, the train left. → Present tense reaches এবং past tense left মিলছে না।
-
খ) As soon as he was reaching the station, the train left. → Continuous tense এখানে সঠিক নয়।
-
ঘ) As soon as he had reached the station, the train had left. → দুটোই past perfect, অর্থ ট্রেন আগে চলে গেছে; বাক্যের আসল অর্থ নেই।

“We will complete the project.” (passive)
Created: 16 hours ago
A
The project is completed by us.
B
The project has been completed by us.
C
The project will completed by us.
D
The project will be completed by us.
The correct answer: ঘ) The project will be completed by us.
-
এটি Future Indefinite Passive Voice-এর সঠিক গঠন।
-
অর্থ: “আমরা প্রকল্পটি সম্পন্ন করব।” (Passive রূপে)
-
বাক্যের tense ও অর্থ দুইটাই সঠিক।
Active → Passive Conversion (Future Indefinite):
-
Structure: Object + will be + past participle (V3) + by + subject
-
উদাহরণ:
-
Active: She will open the door.
-
Passive: The door will be opened by her.
-
Other options:
-
ক) The project is completed by us. → Present tense বোঝায়; মূল বাক্যের ভবিষ্যত কাল মিলছে না।
-
খ) The project has been completed by us. → Present Perfect Passive; কাজ ইতোমধ্যে শেষ হয়েছে বোঝানো হচ্ছে; Future tense-এ সঠিক নয়।
-
গ) The project will completed by us. → ভুল গঠন; “will” এর পরে “be” প্রয়োজন।

He is your friend, ___?
Created: 17 hours ago
A
is he?
B
isn't he?
C
wasn't he?
D
doesn't he?
Correct Answer: খ) isn't he?
-
মূল বাক্য: He is your friend, ___?
-
Tag question-এ প্রধান অংশ ধনাত্মক হলে tag অংশ ঋণাত্মক হবে।
-
মূল অংশ Present Tense, তাই tag অংশও Present Tense হবে।
-
Auxiliary verb is থাকার কারণে সঠিক tag হলো isn't he?
-
Complete Sentence: He is your friend, isn't he?
