TOPIC: COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE NOUN আপনার প্রদত্ত Countable এবং Uncountable Noun-এর নোটটিকে বিস্তারিত এবং দ্বোভাষিক (Bilingual) ভাবে নিচে উপস্থাপন করা হলো। এটি শিক্ষার্থীদের জন্য বিষয়টি বুঝতে এবং মনে রাখতে সহায়ক হবে। Countable & Uncountable Noun: গণনার ভিত্তিতে Noun-এর প্রকারভেদ গণনা করা যায় কি যায় না, তার ওপর ভিত্তি করে Noun-কে দুই ভাগে ভাগ করা হয়। নিচে বিস্তারিত আলোচনা করা হলো: 1. Countable Noun (গণনাযোগ্য বিশেষ্য) Definition (সংজ্ঞা): Countable Nouns are the names of objects, people, etc., that we can count. যেসব Noun-কে নির্দিষ্ট সংখ্যা দিয়ে গণনা করা যায় (এক, দুই, তিন...), তাদেরকে Countable Noun বলে। সাধারণত Common Noun-গুলোই Countable Noun হয়। Key Characteristics (প্রধান বৈশিষ্ট্যসমূহ): Plural Form: এদের Singular (একবচন) এবং Plural (বহুবচন)—উভয় রূপ থাকে। (যেমন: Book → Books). Articles: এদের আগে Article (a, an, the) বসতে পারে। (যেমন: A pen, An apple). Number: এদের আগে সংখ্যাবাচক শব্দ (One, two, five) বসানো যায়। Examples (উদাহরণ): Book, Pen, Boy, Star, Student. I have a pen. (আমার একটি কলম আছে।) There are many stars in the sky. (আকাশে অনেক তারা আছে।) [নোট: তারা বা Star অগণিত হতে পারে, কিন্তু ব্যাকরণগতভাবে এটি গণনাযোগ্য কারণ আমরা বলতে পারি 'একটি তারা' বা 'দুটি তারা'।] 2. Uncountable Noun (অগণনাযোগ্য বিশেষ্য) Definition (সংজ্ঞা): Uncountable Nouns are the names of things which we cannot count but can measure or weigh. যেসব Noun-কে এক, দুই, তিন করে গণনা করা যায় না, কিন্তু পরিমাপ বা ওজন করা যায় অথবা শুধু অনুভব করা যায়, তাদেরকে Uncountable Noun বলে। আমেরিকান ইংরেজিতে এদেরকে 'Non-count noun' বা 'Mass noun' বলা হয়। Key Characteristics (প্রধান বৈশিষ্ট্যসমূহ): No Plural Form: এদের সাধারণত Plural হয় না। (Waters, Sugars—এরা ভুল শব্দ)। Verb Agreement: এদের পরে সর্বদা Singular Verb বসে। (যেমন: Water is pure). No Indefinite Article: এদের আগে সরাসরি a বা an বসে না। তবে নির্দিষ্ট করে বোঝাতে 'the' বসতে পারে। Determiners: এদের আগে much, little, a lot of ইত্যাদি বসে, কিন্তু many বা few বসে না। Examples by Category (শ্রেণিবিভাগ অনুযায়ী উদাহরণ): শিক্ষার্থীদের সুবিধার্থে Uncountable Noun-এর কিছু কমন ক্যাটাগরি নিচে দেওয়া হলো: Liquid (তরল): Water, Milk, Oil, Tea, Coffee. Solid/Grain (কঠিন/দানাদার): Rice, Sugar, Gold, Iron, Wood, Furniture. Abstract Ideas (বিমূর্ত ধারণা): Knowledge, Information, Advice, Honesty, Courage. Natural Phenomenon (প্রাকৃতিক বিষয়): Weather, Heat, Traffic, Scenery. Others: Money (টাকা বা পয়সা গোনা যায়, কিন্তু 'সম্পদ' বা Money শব্দটি Uncountable), Hair (সামগ্রিকভাবে চুল বোঝালে)। পার্থক্য এক নজরে (Difference at a Glance) Feature Countable Noun Uncountable Noun গণনা (Counting) গণনা করা যায় (1, 2, 3...)। গণনা করা যায় না, পরিমাপ করা হয়। Plural Form হয় (s/es যুক্ত হয়)। হয় না। Verb Singular বা Plural হতে পারে। সর্বদা Singular হয়। Article/Determiner a, an, many, few, a number of. much, little, a huge amount of. Example Chair (একটি চেয়ার)। Furniture (আসবাবপত্র)। বিশেষ নিয়ম: Uncountable-কে কিভাবে গণনা করবেন? Uncountable Noun-কে সরাসরি গণনা করা যায় না, তবে এর আগে কিছু Measure Words বা পরিমাপক শব্দ বসিয়ে একে গণনাযোগ্য করা যায়। Water (Uncountable) → A glass of water (Countable phrase). Bread (Uncountable) → A slice of bread. Soap (Uncountable) → A bar of soap. Advice (Uncountable) → A piece of advice. Questions Group A 1. We have not been given - update on the patient's condition.

Yesterday I laid in bed until noon B. Last Friday I lay my hands on the desk C. He was laying in the sun D. Now I lay me down to sleep Ans: B (Wait, Source says B for "Last Friday I lay my hands on the desk"? Lay is past of lie. But 'lay hands' is transitive (put). Past of 'lay' is 'laid'. So B is incorrect. D "Now I lay me down to sleep" uses 'lay' transitively (put myself down), which is correct. A uses 'laid' for 'lie' (wrong). C uses 'laying' for 'lying' (wrong). Source key says B. But D is a famous prayer line and grammatically transitive. Let me re-read the source image. Q260 options: A. Yesterday I laid..., B. Last Friday I lay my hands..., C. He was laying..., D. Now I lay me down... Ans: B. This seems odd. 'Lay' is past of lie (intransitive). 'I lay my hands' requires transitive past 'laid'. Unless it is present tense? But 'Last Friday' implies past. Maybe D is the answer? Or maybe the source has a specific interpretation. I will list the source answer B but note D is standard correct English for the prayer). 66. Choose the correct sentence.

TOPIC: PREPOSITION PREPOSITION: The Bridge of the Sentence (বাক্যের সেতুবন্ধন) Preposition ইংরেজি গ্রামারের এমন একটি অংশ যা বাক্যের বিভিন্ন শব্দের মধ্যে সম্পর্ক তৈরি করে। একে বাক্যের 'আঠা' (Glue) বলা যেতে পারে। ১. শব্দের উৎপত্তি ও সংজ্ঞা (Origin & Definition) Etymology (উৎপত্তি): Preposition শব্দটি দুটি অংশ নিয়ে গঠিত: Pre: Before (পূর্বে বা আগে)। Position: Place (অবস্থান)। অর্থাৎ, শাব্দিক অর্থে এর মানে হলো—"পূর্বে অবস্থান"। Definition (সংজ্ঞা): A Preposition is a word placed before a Noun or Pronoun to show its relationship with other words in the sentence. যে Word কোনো Noun বা Pronoun-এর পূর্বে বসে Sentence-এর অন্যান্য Word-এর সাথে ওই Noun বা Pronoun-এর সম্পর্ক স্থাপন করে, তাকে Preposition বলে। ২. প্রধান নিয়ম (The Golden Rule) Rule: Preposition is always followed by a Noun, a Noun Phrase, or a Pronoun. (Preposition-এর ঠিক পরেই সর্বদা একটি Noun, Noun Phrase অথবা Pronoun বসে।) উদাহরণ (Example): Sentence: There is a cow in the field. (মাঠে একটি গরু আছে।) ব্যাখ্যা: এখানে 'in' হলো Preposition। এটি 'the field' (Noun)-এর আগে বসেছে এবং বাক্যের Subject 'cow'-এর সাথে মাঠের সম্পর্ক তৈরি করেছে। ৩. Preposition-এর প্রকারভেদ (Types of Prepositions) গঠন এবং ব্যবহারের ওপর ভিত্তি করে Preposition-কে প্রধানত ৬ ভাগে ভাগ করা যায়: A. Simple Preposition (সাধারণ বা মৌলিক Preposition) These consist of only one word. একটি মাত্র শব্দ দ্বারা গঠিত Preposition-কে Simple Preposition বলে। Examples: at, by, for, from, in, of, off, on, out, through, till, to, up, with. বাক্যে প্রয়োগ: He is at home. (সে বাড়িতে আছে।) B. Double Preposition (দ্বৈত Preposition) Formed by joining two Simple Prepositions. দুটি Simple Preposition যুক্ত হয়ে যখন একটি নতুন Preposition গঠিত হয়, তাকে Double Preposition বলে। Formation (গঠন): in + to = into on + to = onto with + in = within up + on = upon with + out = without বাক্যে প্রয়োগ: He walked into the room. (সে হেঁটে ঘরের ভেতরে ঢুকল।) C. Compound Preposition (যৌগিক Preposition) Formed by adding a Simple Preposition as a prefix to a Noun, Adjective, or Adverb. Noun, Adjective বা Adverb-এর পূর্বে Simple Preposition যুক্ত হয়ে এটি গঠিত হয়। মনে রাখার কৌশল: এসব শব্দে সাধারণত 'on' পরিবর্তিত হয়ে 'a' হয় এবং 'by' পরিবর্তিত হয়ে 'be' হয়। Examples: on + cross = Across by + hind = Behind by + side = Beside by + tween = Between Also: about, above, along, around, below, beneath, beyond. বাক্যে প্রয়োগ: The river flows across the village. (নদীটি গ্রামের মধ্য দিয়ে প্রবাহিত হয়।) D. Phrase Preposition (শব্দগুচ্ছ Preposition) A group of words functioning as a single preposition. দুই বা ততোধিক শব্দ একত্রে মিলে যখন একটি Preposition-এর কাজ করে, তখন তাকে Phrase Preposition বলে। Examples: In front of (সামনে) In spite of (সত্ত্বেও) In order to (উদ্দেশ্যে) Because of (কারণে) বাক্যে প্রয়োগ: He succeeded by dint of hard work. (সে কঠোর পরিশ্রমের বদৌলতে সফল হয়েছে।) E. Participle Preposition Present Participle (Verb+ing) or Past Participle (Verb+ed) functioning as a preposition. যখন Participle (Verb-এর সাথে ing বা ed যুক্ত রূপ) সরাসরি Verb হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত না হয়ে Preposition-এর মতো কাজ করে। Examples: regarding (বিষয়ে), considering (বিবেচনা করে), concerning, owing, during (সময়ে), past. বাক্যে প্রয়োগ: Considering his age, he walks fast. (তার বয়স বিবেচনা করে বলা যায় সে দ্রুত হাঁটে।) F. Disguised Preposition (ছদ্মবেশী Preposition) Prepositions that are not used directly but in a disguised form (like 'a' or 'o'). যখন on, at, বা of সরাসরি ব্যবহৃত না হয়ে অন্য রূপে (যেমন a বা o) ব্যবহৃত হয়, তাকে Disguised Preposition বলে। Examples: o' = of (It is 10 o'clock -> of clock) a = on (The king went a-hunting -> on hunting) QUESTIONS Here are the questions renumbered from 1 to 150, presented in the clear, vertical format. 1.
