উত্তরের বিবরণ
এই বাক্যটি একটি universal truth বা চিরসত্য বিষয় প্রকাশ করছে। তাই এখানে reported speech-এ tense পরিবর্তন করা হয় না। "Two and two makes four" একটি সর্বজনবিদিত সত্য, তাই direct থেকে indirect speech-এ পরিবর্তনের সময় verb একই থাকে।
এখানে “remarked” ক্রিয়া শব্দটি শুধু বক্তব্য জানানো বোঝাচ্ছে, কোনো পরামর্শ নয়, তাই “advised” সঠিক নয়। আবার universal truth হওয়ায় “made” বা “would make” ব্যবহার করাও ভুল হবে।
অতএব সঠিক রূপ—
He remarked that two and two makes four.
কারণ এটি একটি চিরসত্য গাণিতিক সত্য প্রকাশ করছে, যার tense পরিবর্তন হয় না।

Change the narration: He said, "Would that I had studied harder!"
Created: 1 month 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.
