সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) I advised him to speak the truth.
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) I advised him to speak the truth.
ব্যাখ্যা
You had better speak the truth. = তুমি বরং সত্যটা বললেই ভালো হবে।
এর দ্বারা মূলত উপদেশই বুঝাচ্ছে।
তাই Reporting Verb হিসেবে Advised বসবে এবং এর পর নিয়ম অনুযায়ী to + Verb বসবে।
১০.
Choose the correct indirect speech: Jamal asked me, 'Are you happy in your current job?'
  1. ক) Jamal asked me if I was happy in my current job.
  2. খ) Jamal asked me if I have been happy in my current job.
  3. গ) Jamal asked me whether I am happy in my current job.
  4. ঘ) Jamal asked me if I had been happy in my current job.
সঠিক উত্তর:
ক) Jamal asked me if I was happy in my current job.
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
ক) Jamal asked me if I was happy in my current job.
ব্যাখ্যা
Yes/No Question (প্রশ্নের উত্তর হ্যাঁ বা না) হলে Reported Speech এর আগে if হয়।
Reported Speech কে Indirect করার সময় সর্বদা Assertive Sentence এ লিখতে হয়।
আর Reporting Verb- Past Tense হলে Reported Speech কে নিয়ম অনুযায়ী পরিবর্তন করতে হয়। 

নিয়ম হচ্ছে -
চার প্রকারের Present হবে চার প্রকারের Past.
Past Indefinite হবে Past Perfect.

সে অনুসারে সঠিক indirect speech: Jamal asked me if I was happy in my current job.
১১.
Kollol told me that Koli had not gone there the previous day. (Make it Direct)
  1. ক) Kollol said to me, “Koli has not gone there the previous day.”
  2. খ) Kollol said to me, “Koli did not go there yesterday.”
  3. গ) Kollol said to me, “Koli has not come here the previous day”.
  4. ঘ) Kollol said to me, “Koli has not gone there yesterday.”
সঠিক উত্তর:
খ) Kollol said to me, “Koli did not go there yesterday.”
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
খ) Kollol said to me, “Koli did not go there yesterday.”
ব্যাখ্যা
Indirect Narration এ Past Perfect থাকলে তিনটি Tense হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা আছে (যা নির্ধারিত হবে Adverb of Time, Conjunction ইত্যাদির উপর ভিত্তি করে)।
যথা:
- Present Perfect 
- Past Indefinite 
- Past Perfect

যেহেতু এখানে the previous day উল্লেখ করা আছে, তাই এটা Past Indefinite Tense হওয়াই বাঞ্ছনীয়। আর the previous day এর পরিবর্তে yesterday ব্যবহৃত হবে। 
সে অনুসারে সঠিক direct form: Kollol said to me, “Koli did not go there yesterday.”
১২.
How interesting the game was! (Make it assertive)
  1. ক) It was an interesting game.
  2. খ) It was a very interesting game.
  3. গ) The game was very interesting.
  4. ঘ) The game was enough interesting.
সঠিক উত্তর:
গ) The game was very interesting.
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
গ) The game was very interesting.
ব্যাখ্যা
এখানে Subject হচ্ছে the game.
How এর পরিবর্তে Assertive Sentence এ সাধারণত very ব্যবহৃত হয়। 
Enough বসালে বাক্যের ভাবার্থ ঠিক থাকবে না। তাছাড়া Adjective এর আগে enough বসে না, পরে বসে। Noun এর আগে enough বসতে পারে। 

তাই বাক্যটির সঠিক assertive form: The game was very interesting.
১৩.

  1. ক) Do I conducted research on it?
  2. খ) Don’t I conducted research on it?
  3. গ) Did I conduct research on it?

সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) Didn’t I conduct research on it?
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) Didn’t I conduct research on it?
ব্যাখ্যা
Assertive কে Interrogative এ Transform করতে হলে Negative Interrogative এ পরিণত করতে হয়।
এর পাশাপাশি বাক্যটি Past Indefinite Tense হওয়ায় Didn’t যোগ হবে।
১৪.
Never yield to corruption. (Make it Assertive)
  1. ক) You will never yield to corruption.
  2. খ) We should never yield to corruption.
  3. গ) You should never yield to corruption.
  4. ঘ) You never should yield to corruption.
সঠিক উত্তর:
গ) You should never yield to corruption.
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
গ) You should never yield to corruption.
ব্যাখ্যা
Imperative Sentence এ Subject – You হলে তা উহ্য থাকে।
you ছাড়া অন্য কিছু Subject হলে Let + Objective Form of Subject বসে।
তাই Subject বিহীন Imperative বাক্যের Subject হিসেবে You ধরে নিয়ে Assertive এ তা প্রকাশ্যভাবে লিখতে হবে। এর পর Should বসবে। তার পর Main Verb.

তাই সঠিক উত্তর (গ)। 
ঘ) ভুল, কারণ 'Never' Auxiliary Verb এর আগে বসে না। 
১৫.

  1. ক) He can never find me.

সঠিক উত্তর:
খ) He can find me nowhere.
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
খ) He can find me nowhere.
ব্যাখ্যা
Where যুক্ত Interrogative কে Assertive করতে হলে nowhere (কোথাও না) বসবে। 
Somewhere = কোনো একটা জায়গায়।
Wherever = যেখানেই হোক না কেন। এটা সাধারণত Negative বাক্যের মধ্যে বসে না।
