উত্তরের বিবরণ
Participle
উদাহরণ বাক্য: “A lost opportunity never returns.”
এখানে ‘lost’ হলো participle। কেন?
-
Verb ও Adjective উভয় কাজ করছে:
-
‘lost’ এর মূল রূপ হলো verb (lose), কিন্তু এখানে এটি noun opportunity কে modify করছে।
-
অর্থাৎ, এটি ইতিমধ্যে ‘opportunity’ হারিয়ে গেছে—এই তথ্যটি প্রকাশ করছে।
-
-
Participle কি?
-
যে শব্দ একসাথে verb এবং adjective (মাঝে মাঝে adverb) এর কাজ করে, তাকে participle বলা হয়।
-
সহজভাবে বলতে গেলে, participle হলো verb এর একটি রূপ যা noun বা pronoun কে describe করে।
-
-
রূপ অনুযায়ী participle:
-
Present Participle: ends in -ing
-
উদাহরণ: Do not disturb a sleeping dog.
-
-
Past Participle: ends in -ed, -d, -t, -en, -n
-
উদাহরণ: This is a book written by Charles Dickens.
-
-
Perfect Participle: formed with having + past participle
-
উদাহরণ: Having eaten rice, he went to bed.
-
-
সারসংক্ষেপ:
-
“lost” এখানে past participle।
-
এটি noun opportunity কে modify করছে এবং verb এর অর্থও বহন করছে।
-
তাই, যেকোনো শব্দ যা একই সঙ্গে verb এবং adjective হিসেবে কাজ করে, তাকে participle বলা হয়।

Choose the correct passive voice of:
"They made him finish the work."
Created: 2 months ago
A
He was made finish the work by them.
B
He was made to finish the work by them.
C
He made to finish the work by them.
D
He was making to finish the work by them.
Correct Answer
He was made to finish the work by them. ✅
Explanation:
-
Need, bid, dare, make, hear, feel, let, know, behold, watch প্রভৃতি verb-এর পরে Active Voice-এ সাধারণত to উহ্য থাকে।
-
কিন্তু Passive Voice করার সময় এদের পরে to বসাতে হয়।
-
তবে শুধু let এর ক্ষেত্রে Passive Voice-এ to বসে না।
Example:
-
Active: They made him finish the work.
-
Passive: He was made to finish the work by them.
Other Options
ক) He was made finish the work by them. → Passive-এ made এর পরে to + verb দরকার। তাই ভুল।
গ) He made to finish the work by them. → Auxiliary was নেই, word order ভুল, এবং Subject পরিবর্তনও সঠিক নয়।
ঘ) He was making to finish the work by them. → “was making” tense ও structure উভয়ই ভুল এবং অর্থও পরিবর্তন করছে।
