Completed: "It is high time we left the house." Translation: (আমাদের এখনই বাড়ি ছাড়ার উপযুক্ত সময়।) Explanation: The phrase "It is high time" is used to express urgency. When followed by a subject ("we"), the verb must be in the past simple tense ("left"). (d) Given: "No sooner had we reached the school ______." Completed: "No sooner had we reached the school than the class started." Translation: (আমরা স্কুলে পৌঁছাতে না পৌঁছাতেই ক্লাস শুরু হয়ে গেল।) Explanation: The correlative conjunction structure "No sooner had + subject + V3" must always be paired with "than" followed by a clause in the past simple tense (subject + V2). (e) Given: "The more you read ______." Completed: "The more you read, the more you learn." Translation: (যতই পড়বে, ততই শিখবে।) Explanation: This uses the double comparative structure ("The more..., the more...") to show a proportional cause-and-effect relationship. 3. [Dinajpur Board-2025] (a) Given: "That he is a good teacher ______." Completed: "That he is a good teacher is known to all." Translation: (তিনি যে একজন ভালো শিক্ষক তা সবার জানা।) Explanation: "That he is a good teacher" functions as a dependent noun clause acting as the entire subject of the sentence. It requires a singular main verb phrase ("is known") to complete the thought. (b) Given: "He speaks as if ______." Completed: "He speaks as if he understood everything." Translation: (সে এমনভাবে কথা বলে যেন সে সবকিছু বোঝে।) Explanation: "As if" introduces an unreal or hypothetical situation. Since the preceding verb ("speaks") is in the present tense, the following verb must be in the past simple or past subjunctive ("understood"). (c) Given: "___ he should miss the train." Completed: "He ran fast lest he should miss the train." Translation: (সে দ্রুত দৌড়েছিল পাছে সে ট্রেনটি মিস করে।) Explanation: The conjunction "lest" expresses a negative purpose (for fear that). It is always followed by a clause containing "should + base verb". We must provide the main action ("He ran fast") that was done to prevent missing the train. (d) Given: "Only the wearer knows ____." Completed: "Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches." Translation: (কেবলমাত্র পরিধানকারীই জানে জুতো কোথায় কামড়ায়/কষ্ট দেয়।) Explanation: This is a fixed English proverb meaning "Only the person experiencing a problem truly understands it." (e) Given: "___ I would have helped the poor." Completed: "Had I been a billionaire, I would have helped the poor." Translation: (আমি যদি বিলিয়নিয়ার হতাম, তবে আমি গরিবদের সাহায্য করতাম।) Explanation: The main clause uses "would have + past participle", indicating a Third Conditional. The dependent condition clause must be in the past perfect. Using inversion without "if", it becomes "Had I been...". 4. [Sylhet Board-2025] (a) Given: "Hardly had we heard the news ______." Completed: "Hardly had we heard the news when we rushed to the spot." Translation: (খবরটি শুনতে না শুনতেই আমরা ঘটনাস্থলে ছুটে গেলাম।) Explanation: The negative adverb structure "Hardly had + subject + V3" must be followed by the conjunction "when" (or "before") and a clause in the past simple tense. (b) Given: "Had I the wings of a bird, ______." Completed: "Had I the wings of a bird, I would fly." Translation: (আমার যদি পাখির মতো ডানা থাকত, তবে আমি উড়তাম।) Explanation: This is an inverted Second Conditional requiring would + base verb in the main clause.

Completed: "He disturbed me while I was working." Translation: (আমি যখন কাজ করছিলাম তখন সে আমাকে বিরক্ত করেছিল।) Explanation: The conjunction "while" connects a shorter interrupting action ("disturbed") with a longer continuous background action. Therefore, the clause following "while" takes the past continuous tense. (e) Given: "It is high time ______." Completed: "It is high time we stopped corruption." Translation: (দুর্নীতি বন্ধ করার এখনই উপযুক্ত সময়।) Explanation: "It is high time" denotes strong urgency.

Completed: "Those who always speak the truth are known as truthful people." Translation: (যারা সর্বদা সত্য কথা বলে তারা সত্যবাদী হিসেবে পরিচিত।) Explanation: The demonstrative pronoun "Those" needs a relative clause starting with "who" to describe the specific group of people that matches the predicate "are known as truthful people."

Completed: "Nowadays people lie as if it were the easiest thing to do." Translation: (আজকাল মানুষ এমনভাবে মিথ্যা বলে যেন এটি করা সবচেয়ে সহজ কাজ।) Explanation: "As if" dictates an unreal situation. Because the main verb "lie" is present tense, the 'to be' verb in the dependent clause takes the past subjunctive form "were" for all subjects.

Translation: (যদিও একজন মিথ্যুক কখনো কখনো সত্য কথা বলে, তবুও মানুষ তাকে বিশ্বাস করতে কষ্ট বোধ করে।) Explanation: "Though" introduces a concessive clause. The main clause must show an unexpected or contrasting result. (e) Given: "So, it is a wise decision ______." Completed: "So, it is a wise decision to always stick to the truth." Translation: (তাই, সর্বদা সত্যের পথে অবিচল থাকা একটি বিজ্ঞ সিদ্ধান্ত।) Explanation: The phrase "it is a wise decision" serves as an introductory clause.

(c) Given: "If a student wants to do well in English, ______." Completed: "If a student wants to do well in English, he must practise it daily." Translation: (যদি কোনো শিক্ষার্থী ইংরেজিতে ভালো করতে চায়, তবে তাকে অবশ্যই প্রতিদিন এটি চর্চা করতে হবে।) Explanation: This is a First Conditional sentence.

Translation: (শিক্ষার্থীরা এটি চর্চা না করলে তারা তাদের ইংরেজির উন্নতি করতে পারবে না।) Explanation: First Conditional with "Unless" (if not).

Its antonym "ignoble" means lacking moral principles or being dishonourable. (b) Word: meanness (synonym) Answer: Narrow-mindedness / Malevolence / Cruelty (নীচতা -> সংকীর্ণমনা / বিদ্বেষ) Explanation: In this context, "meanness" refers to selfishness, small-mindedness, or a lack of generosity in the human mind. "Narrow-mindedness" perfectly captures this psychological limitation. (c) Word: broad (antonym) Answer: Narrow / Limited (প্রশস্ত / উদার -> সংকীর্ণ / সীমাবদ্ধ) Explanation: Here, "broad" describes an open, generous, and expanded mindset created by patriotism. The antonym "narrow" refers to a restricted, selfish, or prejudiced way of thinking. (d) Word: inspire (antonym) Answer: Discourage / Demotivate / Dispirit (অনুপ্রাণিত করা -> নিরুৎসাহিত করা) Explanation: "Inspire" means to fill someone with the urge, courage, or ability to do something great (like defending one's country).

"Bookish" perfectly contrasts with the real-world knowledge found in newspapers. Translation: (এই প্রতিযোগিতামূলক বিশ্বে কেবল পুঁথিগত বিদ্যাই যথেষ্ট নয়।) 4. A newspaper helps a man (c) to enrich his general knowledge. Answer (c): to enrich (or to increase / to enhance) Explanation: An infinitive is formed by to + base form of the verb. It post-modifies the preceding clause to show purpose. Translation: (একটি সংবাদপত্র একজন মানুষকে তার সাধারণ জ্ঞান বৃদ্ধি করতে সাহায্য করে।) 5.

Here, it shows the method by which they collect information. Translation: (সংবাদপত্র পড়ে শিক্ষার্থীরা অনেক তথ্য সংগ্রহ করতে পারে।) 8. There are (g) various kinds of newspapers. Answer (g): various (or different) Explanation: We use an adjective to pre-modify the noun "kinds" to indicate diversity. Translation: (বিভিন্ন ধরনের সংবাদপত্র রয়েছে।) 9. One should select the newspaper (h) carefully. Answer (h): carefully (or wisely) Explanation: To post-modify a verb ("select"), we use an adverb of manner. It tells us how the action should be done. Translation: (প্রত্যেকেরই সতর্কতার সাথে সংবাদপত্র নির্বাচন করা উচিত।) 10. (i) Many newspapers present genuine news.

We consider books to be our best friends. They introduce us to life and the world. Books are the mirrors of past, present and even future. They are having an active voice. We can know about the thoughts and deeds of our ancestors through books. Complete Answer Text Books are the medium through which human beings talk with enlightened minds, the great men of the world. We consider books to be our best friends. They introduce us to life and the world. Books are the mirrors of past, present and even future. They are having an active voice. We can know about the thoughts and deeds of our ancestors through books. Sentence-by-Sentence Breakdown & Bengali Translation 1. Books are the medium through which human beings talk with enlightened minds, the great men of the world. Translation: (বই হলো সেই মাধ্যম যার সাহায্যে মানুষ আলোকিত মনের অধিকারী ও বিশ্বের মহান ব্যক্তিদের সাথে কথা বলে।) Explanation: This sentence is correct as is. No pronoun reference errors are present. 2. Original: We consider it to be our best friends. Corrected: We consider books to be our best friends. Translation: (আমরা বইগুলোকে আমাদের সেরা বন্ধু হিসেবে বিবেচনা করি।) Explanation: The singular pronoun "it" is incorrect because it refers to the plural noun "Books" and is equated with the plural noun "friends." Replacing "it" with the noun "books" (or the plural pronoun "them") makes the reference grammatically correct and crystal clear. 3. Original: It introduces them to the life and the world. Corrected: They introduce us to life and the world. Translation: (এগুলো আমাদের জীবন এবং জগতের সাথে পরিচয় করিয়ে দেয়।) Explanation: The singular pronoun "It" is changed to the plural pronoun "They" to correctly refer back to "books". The pronoun "them" is confusing (it could mistakenly refer to "human beings" or "great men"), so it is changed to "us" to maintain consistency with the first-person perspective ("We") established in the previous sentence. 4 & 5. Books are the mirrors of past, present and even future. They are having an active voice. Translation: (বই অতীত, বর্তমান এবং এমনকি ভবিষ্যতের আয়না স্বরূপ। তাদের একটি সক্রিয় কণ্ঠস্বর রয়েছে।) Explanation: These sentences are correct as written. The pronoun "They" at the start of sentence 5 clearly refers back to the subject "Books" in sentence 4. 6. Original: We can know about the thoughts and deeds of their ancestors through it. Corrected: We can know about the thoughts and deeds of our ancestors through books. Translation: (আমরা বইয়ের মাধ্যমে আমাদের পূর্বপুরুষদের চিন্তাভাবনা এবং কাজ সম্পর্কে জানতে পারি।) Explanation: The possessive adjective "their" is incorrect because the subject of the sentence is "We", meaning it should be "our" ancestors. Furthermore, the singular pronoun "it" is incorrect for referring to plural books; replacing it with the noun "books" removes all ambiguity.

Narration Practice for HSC Examination All Board Questions-2026 Change the form of narrative style by using indirect speeches: (5) The traveller said, "Can you tell me the way to the nearest hotel?" "Yes", said the peasant. "Do you want one in which you can spend the night?" "No", replied the traveller. "I only want to have my meal." Answer : The traveller asked the peasant if he could tell him the way to the nearest hotel. The peasant replied in the affirmative and asked if he (the traveller) wanted one in which he could spend the night. The traveller replied in the negative and said that he only wanted to have his meal. Complete Answer Text Indirect Speech: The traveller asked the peasant if he could tell him the way to the nearest hotel. The peasant replied in the affirmative and asked if he (the traveller) wanted one in which he could spend the night. The traveller replied in the negative and said that he only wanted to have his meal. Sentence-by-Sentence Breakdown & Bengali Translation 1. Direct: The traveller said, "Can you tell me the way to the nearest hotel?" Indirect: The traveller asked the peasant if he could tell him the way to the nearest hotel. Translation: (ভ্রমণকারী কৃষককে জিজ্ঞাসা করেছিলেন যে তিনি তাকে সবচেয়ে কাছের হোটেলের পথটি বলে দিতে পারবেন কিনা।) Explanation: The reporting verb "said" changes to "asked" because the reported speech is an interrogative sentence (a question). The listener ("the peasant") is identified from the context of the next sentence and introduced as the object. Since the question starts with a modal/auxiliary verb ("Can"), the conjunction "if" or "whether" is used to connect the clauses. The pronoun "you" changes to "he" (the peasant), "me" changes to "him" (the traveller), and the present modal "can" changes to its past form "could". 2. Direct: "Yes", said the peasant. "Do you want one in which you can spend the night?" Indirect: The peasant replied in the affirmative and asked if he (the traveller) wanted one in which he could spend the night. Translation: (কৃষকটি হ্যাঁ-সূচক উত্তর দিলেন এবং জিজ্ঞাসা করলেন যে তিনি (ভ্রমণকারী) এমন কোনো হোটেল চান কিনা যেখানে তিনি রাত কাটাতে পারবেন।) Explanation: The word "Yes" is transformed into the standard narrative phrase "replied in the affirmative". Because the peasant immediately asks another question, we connect the two parts using "and asked". The second sentence is a Yes/No question, so we use "if" as a linker. The present indefinite tense ("Do you want") changes to the past indefinite ("wanted"). The pronoun "you" changes to "he" (the traveller is indicated in brackets for clarity), and "can" changes to "could". 3. Direct: "No", replied the traveller. "I only want to have my meal." Indirect: The traveller replied in the negative and said that he only wanted to have his meal. Translation: (ভ্রমণকারী না-সূচক উত্তর দিলেন এবং বললেন যে তিনি কেবল তার খাবার খেতে চান।) Explanation: The word "No" is transformed into "replied in the negative". Because the traveller follows up with an assertive/declarative sentence, we use the conjunction "and said that" to connect them. The first-person pronouns "I" and "my" change to the third-person "he" and "his" (referring to the traveller). Finally, the present indefinite verb "want" changes to the past indefinite "wanted" to align with the past tense reporting verb. All Board Questions-2024 1.

(d) Water is used for cultivation by the farmers of our country. (e) Very few elements are as important as it for all living beings. Answer with Explanation (a) Original Sentence: "Water is polluted in many ways." (Make it complex) Answer: "There are many ways in which water is polluted." (অনেক উপায় আছে যার মাধ্যমে পানি দূষিত হয়।) Explanation: To change a simple sentence into a complex sentence, we need to create one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Here, the phrase "in many ways" is expanded into the main clause "There are many ways," and the rest of the sentence is turned into a relative dependent clause using "in which." (b) Original Sentence: "The water which is pure is essential for our survival." (Make it simple) Answer: "Pure water is essential for our survival." (বিশুদ্ধ পানি আমাদের বেঁচে থাকার জন্য অপরিহার্য।) Explanation: To change a complex sentence to a simple sentence, we must reduce it to a single independent clause. The relative clause "which is pure" is compressed into the single adjective "Pure," which is placed directly before the subject "water." (c) Original Sentence: "Men pollute it by throwing wastes in it." (Make it compound) Answer: "Men throw wastes in it and pollute it." (মানুষ এতে বর্জ্য ফেলে এবং একে দূষিত করে।) Explanation: A simple sentence containing a prepositional gerund phrase ("by throwing wastes") is converted into a compound sentence by expanding the phrase into a full independent clause ("Men throw wastes in it"). This new clause is then joined to the second independent clause ("pollute it") using the coordinating conjunction "and." (d) Original Sentence: "The farmers of our country use water for cultivation." (Make it passive voice) Answer: "Water is used for cultivation by the farmers of our country." (আমাদের দেশের কৃষকদের দ্বারা চাষাবাদের জন্য পানি ব্যবহৃত হয়।) Explanation: To change from active to passive voice, the object ("water") is moved to the subject position. The active present tense verb ("use") is changed to its passive form (to be + past participle: "is used"). Finally, the original subject ("The farmers of our country") is added at the end as the agent, introduced by the preposition "by." (e) Original Sentence: "It is one of the most important elements for all living beings." (Make it positive) Answer: "Very few elements are as important as it for all living beings." (খুব কম উপাদানই সমস্ত জীবের জন্য এর মতো এত গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।) Explanation: When transforming a superlative degree sentence that contains the phrase "one of the most," the positive degree must start with "Very few" followed by the plural noun ("elements"). Consequently, the verb becomes plural ("are"), and the base adjective ("important") is framed between "as ... as." HSC Examination -2017 All Board Questions 1.
