✦ Topic: Participle
Definition
-
A participle is a verb form that ends in -ing (present participle) or -ed, -d, -t, -en, -n (past participle).
-
Participles function as adjectives, describing or modifying nouns.
-
A participle does the work of both a verb and an adjective.
Example Analysis
-
A retired soldier told us stories of the war.
-
এখানে retired শব্দটি soldier noun-কে modify করছে, তাই এটি adjective-এর কাজ করছে।
-
একই সাথে এটি verb-এর sense বহন করছে (অর্থাৎ "যিনি অবসর নিয়েছেন")।
-
Types of Participle
-
Present Participle → verb + ing
-
Example: Do not disturb a sleeping dog.
-
-
Past Participle → verb + ed/d/t/en/n
-
Example: This is a book written by Charles Dickens.
-
Note: সাধারণত verb + ed হয়ে past participle হয় (work → worked)।
-
তবে অনেক verb-এ irregular past participle হয় (write → written, eat → eaten)।
-
-
Perfect Participle → Having + past participle
-
Example: Having eaten rice, he went to bed.

God willing
• Complete Sentence:
-
English: God willing, we shall meet again.
-
Part of Speech: 'willing' → Participle
• Explanation:
-
"God willing" এ willing present participle হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয়েছে।
-
"Willing" verb will থেকে এসেছে, কিন্তু adjective হিসেবে God-কে modify করে।
-
এটি একটি conditional clause সূচিত করে: "If God is willing…"
• Absolute Phrase:
-
Absolute phrase-এ participle noun/pronoun-এর পরে বসে modify করলে adjective-এর কাজ করে।
-
এখানে কমার পূর্বে verb+ing অংশটি participle phrase।
-
Absolute phrase সহজেই subordinate clause-এ পরিবর্তন করা যায়:
-
উদাহরণ: God willing, → If God is willing
-
• Present Participle:
-
Verb-এর সাথে -ing যোগ হয়ে যদি adjective-এর কাজ করে, অর্থাৎ একই সাথে verb ও adjective-এর কাজ করে, তাকে present participle বলা হয়।
-
সহজভাবে: Verb + ing → adjective → verb + adjective কাজ করে
