Direct to Indirect Speech (Interrogative Sentence)
• Example:
-
Direct: I said to him, "Will you lend me your books?"
-
Indirect: I enquired of him whether he would lend me his books.
• নিয়মাবলী:
-
Reporting verb: Interrogative sentence-এ direct speech-কে indirect speech-এ রূপান্তর করতে, প্রথমে reporting verb বসাতে হবে।
-
"said" এর পরিবর্তে প্রশ্নসূচক অর্থে asked/enquired of ব্যবহার হবে।
-
-
Auxiliary verb দিয়ে শুরু হলে: Direct speech থেকে inverted comma তুলে দিয়ে if/whether linker হিসেবে বসাতে হবে।
-
Reported speech-এর subject: Direct speech-এর subject বসবে। যদি subject second person হয়, তবে reporting verb-এর object অনুযায়ী পরিবর্তন হবে।
-
Tense পরিবর্তন: Reporting verb যদি past tense-এ থাকে এবং মূল verb-এর পূর্বে shall/will থাকে, তাহলে indirect speech-এ তা should/would-এ পরিবর্তিত হবে।
-
Sentence type পরিবর্তন: Interrogative sentence-টি indirect speech-এ সবসময় assertive sentence-এ পরিণত হবে।
• Structure:
Subject + ask/asked + object (যদি থাকে) + linker word + reported speech-এর subject + verb + বাকি অংশ
