উত্তরের বিবরণ
Correct Answer: to
Complete Sentence:
-
I prefer walking to driving in the city.
ব্যাখ্যা:
-
Prefer (someone or something) to (someone or something else)
-
English meaning: To choose or want one thing rather than another
-
Bangla meaning: অধিক পছন্দ করা
-
-
দুইটি জিনিসের মধ্যে আপেক্ষিকভাবে একটি জিনিস বেশি পছন্দ করতে Prefer এর পর সর্বদা to ব্যবহার করা হয়।
-
Grammatical structure: prefer + [verb/gerund/noun] + to + [verb/gerund/noun]
-
এখানে walking তুলনায় driving বেশি পছন্দ করা বোঝাতে to সঠিক।
অন্যান্য অপশন বিশ্লেষণ:
-
খ) by: মাধ্যম বোঝাতে ব্যবহৃত হয় (e.g., by car, by train) — এখানে প্রযোজ্য নয়।
-
গ) than: "prefer" নয়, এটি comparative বা rather than স্ট্রাকচারের জন্য ব্যবহৃত হয়।
-
ঘ) of: ownership বা অংশ বোঝাতে ব্যবহৃত হয় — এখানে অনুপযুক্ত।

Choose the correct passive voice of:
"Who taught you English?"
Created: 2 months ago
A
Who were you taught English by?
B
By whom were you taught English?
C
By whom you were taught English?
D
Whom were you taught English by?
Correct Answer
খ) By whom were you taught English? ✅
Explanation:
-
Who যুক্ত Interrogative Sentence কে Passive Voice এ পরিবর্তন করার নিয়ম:
-
Who → By whom হয়
-
তারপর tense ও subject অনুযায়ী auxiliary verb বসে
-
Object → Subject হয়
-
মূল verb এর Past Participle বসে
-
প্রশ্নবোধক চিহ্ন (?) বসানো হয়
-
Example:
-
Active: Who taught you English?
-
Passive: By whom were you taught English?
Other Options
ক) Who were you taught English by? → অনানুষ্ঠানিক ও অস্বস্তিকর গঠন; grammatically possible হলেও standard formal নয়।
গ) By whom you were taught English? → word order ভুল; interrogative না হয়ে assertive হয়ে গেছে।
ঘ) Whom were you taught English by? → “Whom” ঠিক আছে, কিন্তু standard formal usage-এ শুরুতেই “By whom” বসানো উত্তম।
