Linking Verb (Copulative Verb)
-
Definition: যে সমস্ত verb সাধারণত subject এবং subjective complement এর মধ্যে যোগসূত্র স্থাপন করে, তাদেরকে linking verb বা copulative verb বলে।
-
বৈশিষ্ট্য:
-
Linking verb সাধারণত actionless হয়।
-
Complement হিসেবে সাধারণত adjective বসে।
-
Adverbs ব্যবহার করা যেতে পারে যদি তারা linking verb-কে বর্ণনা করে, subject-কে নয়।
-
উদাহরণ
-
He got angry. ✅
-
Got = linking verb, subject “He” এবং adjective “angry” এর মধ্যে সংযোগ।
-
-
He became a doctor.
-
Became = linking verb, complement = “a doctor”
-
-
My coffee remains hot.
-
Remains = linking verb, complement = “hot”
-
-
The car looks fast.
-
Looks = linking verb, complement = “fast”
-
সাধারণ linking verbs
-
be, become, look, seem, remain, appear, get, grow
