Verb-এর সঠিক রূপ বসানোর নিয়ম (Subject-Verb Agreement) বুঝতে হলে কিছু গুরুত্বপূর্ণ নিয়ম অনুসরণ করতে হবে। নিচে ধাপে ধাপে বিষয়গুলো ব্যাখ্যা করা হলো:
- Subject অনুযায়ী Verb এর রূপ পরিবর্তন
Singular Subject হলে verb-এর s / es যুক্ত হয়।
Plural Subject হলে verb-এর মূল রূপ (base form) ব্যবহৃত হয়।
উদাহরণ:
- He plays football. (He = singular, তাই ‘play’ → ‘plays’)
- They play football. (They = plural, তাই ‘play’ অপরিবর্তিত থাকবে)
- Tense অনুযায়ী Verb-এর ব্যবহার
Verb-এর রূপ প্রধানত তিনটি ভাগে বিভক্ত:
- Present (বর্তমান) → Play / Plays
- Past (অতীত) → Played
- Past Participle (পারফেক্ট ও প্যাসিভে ব্যবহৃত) → Played
উদাহরণ:
- I write a letter. (Present)
- I wrote a letter yesterday. (Past)
- I have written a letter. (Present Perfect)
- Helping Verb-এর সাথে Main Verb-এর রূপ
- Has / Have / Had এর পরে Past Participle বসবে।
- He has gone to school.
- They had finished the work.
- Is / Am / Are / Was / Were এর পরে Verb+ing বসবে (Continuous Tense)।
- She is reading a book.
- They were playing football.
- Modal Verb (Can, Could, May, Might, Shall, Should, Will, Would, Must) এর পরে Base Form বসবে
উদাহরণ:
- He can swim well. (ভুল: He can swims)
- You must study regularly.
- Negative Sentence-এ Do/Does/Did ব্যবহারের নিয়ম
- Present Simple Tense → Doesn’t / Don’t + Base Form
- He doesn’t eat meat. (ভুল: He doesn’t eats)
- They don’t play cricket.
- Past Simple Tense → Didn’t + Base Form
- She didn’t go to school. (ভুল: She didn’t went)
- যদি “Each, Every, Either, Neither, Someone, Nobody” থাকে, তাহলে Singular Verb বসবে
উদাহরণ:
- Each boy has a book.
- Nobody knows the answer.
- “There is” vs. “There are”
- There is + Singular Noun → There is a cat.
- There are + Plural Noun → There are many cats.
Verb-এর সঠিক রূপ বসানোর আরও গুরুত্বপূর্ণ নিয়ম
এখানে আরও কিছু বিশেষ নিয়ম দেওয়া হলো, যা Class 9-এর জন্য Subject-Verb Agreement এবং Tense-এর ক্ষেত্রে কাজে আসবে:
