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

Choose the sentence where the gerund is the subject:
Created: 4 months ago
A
She likes painting landscapes.
B
They were painting landscapes.
C
Painting landscapes is relaxing.
D
She has painted landscapes.
Gerund হলো কোনো Verb-এর (ক্রিয়া) -ing রূপ, যা noun-এর মতো ব্যবহৃত হয়।
এখানে Painting landscapes — পুরো অংশটি একটি noun-এর মতো ব্যবহার হয়েছে এবং subject হিসেবে কাজ করছে।
বাক্যটি বোঝাচ্ছে: "চিত্রাঙ্কন করা (painting landscapes) হচ্ছে একধরনের আরামদায়ক কাজ।"
অন্য অপশনগুলোর বিশ্লেষণ:
ক) She likes painting landscapes.
→ এখানে "painting" Gerund হলেও Subject নয়, Object (She কী পছন্দ করে? — painting landscapes)।
খ) They were painting landscapes.
→ এখানে "painting" হলো Main Verb (Past Continuous Tense)।
ঘ) She has painted landscapes.
→ এখানে "painted" Past Participle, Gerund নয়।
সুতরাং উত্তর: গ) Painting landscapes is relaxing.
