THE SENTENCE
1. SENTENCE কাকে বলে ?
উ: যে শব্দ গুচ্ছ মনের ভাব বা ধারনা
সম্পূর্ণরুপে প্রকাশ করে তাকে SENTENCE বলে ।
অথবা, দুই বা ততোধিক শব্দসমষ্টি একত্রে মিলিত হয়ে বক্তার মনের ভাব সম্পূর্ণ রূপে প্রকাশ করলেই কেবল তাকে sentence বা বাক্য বলা যাবে। অন্যথায়, একাধিক শব্দ এক সাথে মিলিত হলেও যদি সম্পূর্ণ রূপে মনের ভাব বা কথা প্রকাশ না করে তাহলে তাকে বাক্য বলা যাবে না।
যেমন:
- Rahim is a student. (রহিম একজন ছাত্র।)
- Sheela is going to school. (শীলা স্কুলে যাচ্ছে।)
- Please open the door. (অনুগ্রহ করে দরজাটি খুলুন)
Sentence এর প্রধানত দুইটি অংশ:
- Subject (উদ্দেশ্য)
- Predicate (বিধেয়)
Subject: Sentence বা বাক্যে যখন কোনো ব্যক্তি বা বস্তুকে উদ্দেশ্য করে কোন কিছু বলা হয় তখন তাকে Subject বলে। Subject সাধারণত Sentence এর প্রথম অংশে বসে।
যেমন:
- Karim goes to school.
- Messi is a famous football player.
উপরের দুইটি Sentence এর মধ্যে Karim, Messi হলো Subject। যেখানে Karim, Messi কে উদ্দেশ্য করে কিছু বলা হয়েছে।
Predicate: Sentence বা বাক্যে Subject সম্পর্কে যা কিছু বলা হয় তাকে Predicate বলে।
যেমন:
- Karim goes to school.
- Messi is a famous football player.
উপরের দুইটি Sentence এর মধ্যে Karim, Messi সম্পর্কে যা কিছু বলা হয়েছে তা সবটাই Predicate।
