She studies in order to get a scholarship. (compound)
Created: 16 hours 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।

Created: 17 hours ago
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.
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।
