He said would that he had studied harder.
C

D

উত্তরের বিবরণ
Direct speech: He said, "Would that I had studied harder!"
Indirect speech: He wished that he had studied harder.
Rule for converting exclamatory sentences expressing a wish:
-
If a sentence begins with If, O that, Oh that, Would that and expresses a wish, use wish in the indirect form.
-
Since the reporting verb is in the past tense (said), in indirect speech wish becomes wished.
-
The reported clause takes the past perfect tense after that.
Example according to the rule:
-
He wished that he had been rich.

Which of the following sentences is correct?
Created: 1 month ago
A
She is the most pretty girl in our class.
B
She is the prettiest girl in our class.
C
She is the most prettiest girl in our class.
D
She is the prettyest girl in our class.
সঠিক উত্তর হলো – খ) She is the prettiest girl in our class.
Rule:
-
যদি adjective-এর শেষ অক্ষর y হয় এবং তার আগে consonant থাকে, তাহলে comparative ও superlative গঠন করার সময় y বাদ দিয়ে যথাক্রমে -ier এবং -iest যোগ করতে হবে।
Examples:
-
Positive → Comparative → Superlative
-
She is a happy child. → She is happier than before. → She is the happiest in the group.
-
The weather is dry today. → The day after tomorrow will be drier. → This is the driest season.
-
He is a shy boy. → He looks shier now. → He is the shiest among his friends.
-
Other options ব্যাখ্যা:
-
ক) She is the most pretty girl in our class. → ভুল; “pretty” short adjective, তাই superlative হয় -est যোগ করে।
-
গ) She is the most prettiest girl in our class. → ভুল; “Most” + “prettiest” একসাথে ব্যবহার করা যায় না, double superlative।
-
ঘ) She is the prettyest girl in our class. → ভুল; “y” বদলে “i” হয়, তাই সঠিক হলো prettiest।
