Choose the sentence where the gerund is the subject:
A
She likes painting landscapes.
B
They were painting landscapes.
C
Painting landscapes is relaxing.
D
She has painted landscapes.
উত্তরের বিবরণ
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.

A
He discussed the matter.
B
He discussed about the mater.
C
He discussed on the matter.
D
None of the above
সঠিক বাক্যটি হলো "He discussed the matter," যা দেখায় কিভাবে transitive verb কাজ করে। এখানে "discuss" একটি transitive verb হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয়েছে, যার পরে সরাসরি object আসে এবং সাধারণত কোন preposition লাগানো হয় না।
প্রদত্ত বাক্যে object হলো the matter, তাই এর আগে কোনো preposition লাগানো উচিত নয়।
এছাড়া, discuss-এর মতো describe, order, এবং request ও transitive verbs, এবং এগুলোর পর সাধারণত preposition ব্যবহার করা হয় না।
উদাহরণ হিসেবে:
-
ভুল: We discussed about the matter yesterday.
-
সঠিক: We discussed the matter yesterday.
-
ভুল: He described about the scenery.
-
সঠিক: He described the scenery.
-
ভুল: I have ordered for three cups of coffee.
-
সঠিক: I have ordered three cups of coffee.

Rule:
যদি as if / as though এর আগে Past Indefinite Tense থাকে, তাহলে এর পরে Past Perfect Tense ব্যবহার হয়।
উদাহরণ: She cried as if she had lost her only friend.
যদি আগে Present Indefinite Tense থাকে, তাহলে এর পরে Past Indefinite Tense হয়। Be verb হলে সবসময় were হয়।

ভুল উদাহরণ:
খ) She cried as if she lost her only friend → simple past, unreal past context-এ ভুল।
গ) She cried as if she losted her only friend → “losted” ভুল, past tense হলো lost।
ঘ) She cried as if she losts her only friend → present tense, ভুল।
