B

উত্তরের বিবরণ
Little, A little, Few, A few
ব্যবহার: এগুলো হলো quantifier determiners, যা কিছু পরিমাণ বা সংখ্যাকে বোঝায়।
Determiner | Noun Type | Meaning | Example |
---|---|---|---|
Little | Uncountable | অল্প, কম | — |
A little | Uncountable | সামান্য, কিছুটা | There is a little milk left. |
Few | Countable | অল্প, খুব কম | — |
A few | Countable | কিছু কিছু, অল্প কয়েকটি | I have a few friends to help me. |
নোট:
-
Little ও Few → negative sense (অল্প বা নেই বললেই চলে)
-
A little ও A few → positive sense (কিছু কিছু বা সামান্য পরিমাণ)
-
Countable noun-এর আগে Few / A few এবং uncountable noun-এর আগে Little / A little বসে।

Transitive verbs-এর পরে সাধারণত কোনো preposition বসে না; এরা সরাসরি object নেয়।
-
কিছু সাধারণ transitive verbs: reach, resemble, violate, discuss, resign, sign, investigate, recommend, order, command, enter ইত্যাদি।
-
তাই এখানে violate এর পরে কোনো preposition লাগেনি।
অন্য বিকল্পগুলোতে: Violate-এর পরে preposition (যেমন to, with, from) ব্যবহার হওয়ায় বাক্যগুলো ভুল হয়েছে।
