Choose the correct one.
Created: 2 months ago
A
I appreciate your helping me with the project.
B
I appreciate your help me with the project.
C
I appreciate you helping me with the project.
D
I appreciate your to helping me with the project.
Rule:
-
Possessive adjective-এর পরে noun বা gerund বসে।
Examples:
-
Take your time. (noun)
-
My father never approved of her marrying a foreigner. (gerund)
-
Formal English:
-
Verbs যেমন appreciate, enjoy, mind, resent ইত্যাদির পর, যদি pronoun gerund (-ing form)-এর আগে আসে, তাহলে pronoun possessive form-এ থাকবে।
-
উদাহরণ: I appreciate your helping me with the project.
-
এখানে helping হলো gerund, এবং pronoun your ঠিকভাবে possessive case-এ আছে।
-
-
Correct Sentence:
👉 I appreciate your helping me with the project.
Option Analysis:
-
I appreciate your help me with the project.
-
ভুল, কারণ possessive adjective 'your'-এর পরে gerund বসা উচিত, 'help' নয়।
-
-
I appreciate you helping me with the project.
-
formal English-এ your helping (possessive + gerund) গ্রহণযোগ্য।
-
তাই objective + gerund ভুল ধরা হয়েছে।
-
-
I appreciate your to helping me with the project.
-
ভুল, কারণ possessive adjective 'your'-এর পরে gerund বসে, 'to helping' নয়।
