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:

1. I appreciate your help me with the project.

   • ভুল, কারণ possessive adjective 'your'-এর পরে gerund বসা উচিত, 'help' নয়।

2. I appreciate you helping me with the project.

   • formal English-এ your helping (possessive + gerund) গ্রহণযোগ্য।

   • তাই objective + gerund ভুল ধরা হয়েছে।

3. I appreciate your to helping me with the project.

   • ভুল, কারণ possessive adjective 'your'-এর পরে gerund বসে, 'to helping' নয়।

Instead of

• Complete Sentence:

• English: He played instead of working.

• Bangla: কাজ করার পরিবর্তে সে খেলেছে।

• Grammar Rule:

• "Instead of" একটি preposition।

• Preposition-এর পরে gerund (verb + ing) ব্যবহার করতে হয়।

• অর্থাৎ, preposition (of, in, on, up, for, by, ইত্যাদি)-এর পরে সবসময় verb + ing বসে।

• More Examples:

• The old man was tired of walking.

• A grant for studying medicine.
