Right Form of Verbs (Rules of
using verbs)
ইংরেজি ভাষায় একটি Sentence এ
ব্যবহূত প্রতিটি word-ই কোনো না
কোনো কাজ করে থাকে। প্রতিটি
word-এর মধ্যে Verb সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।
সাধারণত যে word দ্বারা কোনো কিছু
করা, হওয়া, থাকা, বোঝায় তাকে verb
বলে। Verb is the heart of Sentence. তাই
Verb কে বাক্যের প্রাণ বলা হয়ে
থাকে। Latin শব্দ verbal থেকে এই
শব্দটির উৎপত্তি। বাক্য গঠনশৈলীতে
Noun-এর পরই Verb এর স্থান। এই Verb,
Noun, Pronoun এবং Object কে
বিশেষভাবে গতিশীল করে রাখে।
Verb ছাড়া কোনো Sentence তৈরি
করা যায় না। Verbগুলো সাধারণত
Voice, Tense, Mood, Narrarion and
Sentence পরিবর্তনে সহায়তা করে
থাকে। একটি Sentence এ দুই ধরনের
Verb ব্যবহূত হতে পারে। যেমন, Principal
verb and Auxiliary verb.
Principal Verb: যে Verb-এর নিজস্ব অর্থ
থাকে না, বিভিন্ন প্রকাশের জন্য
অন্যের ওপর নির্ভর করতে হয় না,
তাকে Principal Verb বলে।
Example : Rana writes an application.
Auxiliary Verb : যে verb-এর নিজস্ব অর্থ
থাকে না, বিভিন্ন প্রকার Sentence
অথবা Tense, Voice বা Mood-এর রূপ
গঠনের জন্য অন্য verb কে সাহায্য করে
থাকে তাকে Auxiliary Verb বলে।
Example : Rana is writing an application.
মনে রাখতে হবে যে কোনো কোনো
সময় একই verb, principle and Auxiliary
দুভাবেই ব্যবহূত হতে পারে। যেমন, I am
a student. এখানে ‘am’ Principle verb.
আবার, I am writing a letter. এখানে ‘am’
Auxiliary verb.
Principle Verb and Auxiliary Verb ছাড়াও
