Rule for Inversion with Certain Adverbs:
-
Adverbs/adverbial phrases like Only then, hardly, scarcely, seldom when placed at the beginning of a sentence to emphasize the verb, trigger subject-auxiliary inversion.
-
Structure: Adverbial phrase + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb (base form)
Example:
-
Correct: Only then did I realize the truth.
-
Only then → emphasis
-
did → auxiliary verb for past tense
-
I → subject
-
realize → base form of main verb
-
Why the other options are incorrect:
-
খ) Only than I realize the truth. → “than” is incorrect; it should be then.
-
গ) Only then I did realize the truth. → Incorrect word order; inversion required: did I realize.
-
ঘ) Only than did I realize the truth. → “than” is wrong; correct word is then.

Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:
Being always the best student, he is certainly the most excellent boy in the class.
Created: 2 months ago
A
Being always the best student
B
he is certainly
C
the most excellent
D
in the class
• সঠিক উত্তর: C) the most excellent
-
“the most excellent” ব্যবহারে ভুল হয়েছে কারণ “excellent” নিজেই একটি superlative adjective (অর্থ: “অত্যন্ত ভালো”)।
-
ইতিমধ্যেই যেকোনো adjective যদি superlative বা absolute হয়, তার আগে “most” ব্যবহার করা ভুল।
-
অর্থাৎ এখানে দুইবার superlative form ব্যবহার করা হয়েছে, যা অযৌক্তিক।
উদাহরণ Sentence:
Being always the best student, he is certainly the most outstanding boy in the class.
• অন্যান্য Options
-
A) Being always the best student
-
সঠিক participial phrase, যা subject (he)-কে modify করছে।
-
-
B) he is certainly
-
ব্যাকরণগতভাবে সঠিক structure।
-
-
D) in the class
-
সঠিক prepositional phrase, যা অবস্থান (location) নির্দেশ করছে।
