B

C

D

উত্তরের বিবরণ
উদাহরণ বাক্য:
• Will it take much time?
1. ‘much’ কী ধরনের শব্দ?
-
এখানে much হচ্ছে determiner।
-
এটি পরবর্তী noun time কে modify করছে, তাই determiner হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত।
2. ‘time’ কী ধরনের noun?
-
time এখানে uncountable noun।
-
Uncountable noun-এর আগে সাধারণত determiners যেমন much, some, a little, a lot of ইত্যাদি ব্যবহার করা হয়।
-
উদাহরণ:
-
I don’t have much time.
-
She spent a lot of time studying.
-
-
লক্ষ্য করুন, uncountable noun-এর সাথে কখনো s/es যোগ হয় না।
3. Determiner এর কাজ:
-
Determiner-এর প্রধান কাজ হলো noun-এর নির্দিষ্টতা বা অনির্দিষ্টতা বোঝানো।
-
যদিও এটি noun modify করতে পারে, modify করা Determiner-এর মূল কাজ নয়।
-
উদাহরণ:
-
a book → অনির্দিষ্ট বই
-
the book → নির্দিষ্ট বই
-
4. Determiner-এর ধরন:
| ধরন | উদাহরণ |
|---|---|
| Articles | a, an, the |
| Demonstratives | this, that, these, those |
| Possessives | my, your, his, her, their |
| Quantifiers | some, few, a few, fewer, no, one, two, a lot of, several, many, much, little, a little, the little |
| Numbers | one, two, second, last |
| Interrogatives | which, what, whose |
much + uncountable noun → নির্দিষ্ট বা পরিমাণ বোঝাতে ব্যবহৃত।
-
Determiner noun কে “পরিমাণ বা নির্দিষ্টতা” অনুযায়ী চিহ্নিত করে।

A
She doesn't have many friends in the city.
B
Don't I have any money left?
C
Rahim bought few furnitures for the new office.
D
They found a little hope in the situation.
Original Sentence:
-
Rahim bought few furnitures for the new office. ❌
Issue:
-
“Furniture” is an uncountable noun, so it cannot be pluralized as “furnitures.”
-
Using “few” implies countable, which is incorrect here.
Correct Usage:
-
Rahim bought some furniture for the new office. ✅
-
Or: Rahim bought two pieces of furniture for the new office. ✅
Explanation of Other Options:
-
She doesn't have many friends in the city. → Correct, “many” is used with countable noun “friends.”
-
Don't I have any money left? → Correct, “any” is used with uncountable noun “money.”
-
They found a little hope in the situation. → Correct, “little” is used with uncountable noun “hope.”
