This is the book I lost. Here 'I lost' is-
Created: 4 weeks ago
A
A noun clause
B
An adverbial clause
C
An adjective clause
D
None of the three
Adjective Clause (বিশেষণোপবাক্য)
যে উপবাক্যটি কোনো noun বা pronoun-এর অর্থ পরিষ্কার বা বর্ধিত করে, তাকে Adjective Clause বা বিশেষণোপবাক্য বলা হয়। এটি মূলত noun-এর পর বসে এবং noun-এর বিশেষণ হিসেবে কাজ করে।
উদাহরণ:
-
This is the book I lost.
এখানে I lost হলো Adjective Clause। কেননা এটি noun the book কে modify করছে, অর্থাৎ কোন বই তা বোঝাচ্ছে।
মূল বৈশিষ্ট্য:
-
সাধারণ adjective সাধারণত noun-এর আগে বা linking verb-এর পরে আসে, কিন্তু Adjective Clause সবসময় noun-এর পরে বসে।
-
Adjective Clause প্রায়ই শুরু হয় relative pronoun বা relative adverb দিয়ে।
Relative Pronouns: who, which, that, whom, whose, of which
Relative Adverbs: why, where, when, how, as
উদাহরণ বাক্য
-
He could not explain the reason why they left. → এখানে why they left হলো Adjective Clause, যা the reason কে modify করছে।
-
The boy who is playing cricket is my brother. → এখানে who is playing cricket হলো Adjective Clause, যা the boy কে modify করছে।

Change the narration: He said, "Would that I had studied harder!"
Created: 22 hours ago
A
He said if he studied harder.
B
He said would that he had studied harder.
C
He wished that he had studied harder.
D
He hoped he studies harder.
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.
