Assertive sentence-কে interrogative এবং exclamatory sentence-এ পরিণত করার জন্য আমি কতগুলো নিয়ম উপস্থাপন করেছি এবং প্রতিটি নিয়মের সাপেক্ষে example ও exercise দিয়েছি, যাতে তোমরা সহজে নিয়মগুলো আয়ত্ত করে সঠিকভাবে প্রয়োগ করতে পারো।
Assertive to Interrogative
Rule 1 : অর্থের পরিবর্তন না ঘটিয়ে assertive sentence-কে interrogative sentence-এ পরিবর্তন করার নিয়ম: (i) ‘হ্যাঁ’-বোধক assertive sentence-কে ‘না’-বোধক interrogative sentence-এ পরিবর্তন করে interrogative sentence গঠন করা যায়।
Example : As. : Smoking is a bad habit
Int. : Isn’t smoking a bad habit?
As. : He ia an honest man.
Int. : Isn’t he an honest man?
(ii) অনুরূপভাবে ‘না’-বোধক assertive sentence-কে ‘হ্যাঁ’-বোধক interrogative sentence-এ পরিবর্তিত করে interrogative sentence গঠন করা হয়। এ ক্ষেত্রে negative word-গুলোকে affirmative word-এ পরিবর্তিত করা হয়।
Example : Assertive: He is not a great fool.
Interrogative : Is he a great fool?
Assertive: I was never late.
Interrogative : Was I ever late?
Rule 2 : সাহায্যকারী verb-বিহীন assertive sentence-কে interrogative হলে don’t / doesn’t (present indefinite হলে), did (past indefinit হলে) + subject + base verb + বাকি অংশ + প্রশ্নবোধক চিহ্ন বসবে।
Example : Assertive: They play football.
Interrogative : Don’t they play football?
Assertive: Jerry liked skates.
Interrogative : Did not jerry like skates?
Rule 3 : Never/nothing-যুক্ত assertive sentence-কে interrogative করতে হলে never-এর পরিবর্তে ever এবং nothing থাকলে anything বসবে।
Example. : Assertive: I never drink tea.
Interrogative : Do I ever drink tea?
Assertive: There was nothing to do.
Interrogative : was there anything to do?
Rule 4 : Everybody / everyone / all-কে interrogative করার সময় এদের পরিবর্তে প্রথমে who বসে + don’t / doesn’t / didn’t বসে + মূল verb-এর present form বসে + মূল verb-এর পরের অংশ বসে + প্রশ্নবোধক চিহ্ন বসে। Example : Assertive: Everybody wishes to be happy.
Interrogative : Who doesn’t wish to be happy?
Assertive: All love flowers.
Interrogative : Who doesn’t love flowers?

প্রিয় শিক্ষার্থীরা, গতকালের পর আজ ইংরেজি ২য় পত্রের গ্রামার অংশ থেকে ‘Transformation of Sentence’ নিয়ে আলোচনা করব।
Rule 5 : Nobody / none / no one-কে interrogative করতে হলে এদের পরিবর্তে who বসে + বাকি অংশ+প্রশ্নবোধক চিহ্ন বসে।
Assertive : Nobody trusts a liar.
Interrogative: Who trusts a liar?
Assertive : None can do this.
Interrogative : Who can do this?
Rule 6 : Assertive sentence-এ (every, all + noun) subject হিসেবে ব্যবহূত হলে সে ক্ষেত্রে interrogative sentence-এ every-এর স্থলে is there any ব্যবহূত হয়।
Example : Assertive: All men hate a liar.
Interrogative : Is there any man who doesn’t hate a liar? Assertive : Every man must die.
Interrogative : Is there any who will not die?
Rule 7 : Interoductory ‘there’ দিয়ে সূচিত assertive sentence-কে interrogative sentence-এ পরিবর্তন করার ক্ষেত্রে there-এর পরিবর্তে sentence-এর প্রথমে who বা what ব্যবহূত হয়। অতঃপর sentence-টি negative হলে Affirmative Interrogative এবং Affirmative হলে Negative-interrogative sentence-এ পরিবর্তন করা হয়।
Example : Assertive : There is no use of it.
Interrogative: What is the use of it?
Assertive: There is no hope for me.
Interrogative: What is the hope for me?

Exercise for practice
1. Mitu writes a letter.
2. Their glory can never fade.

Example : Assertive : You are a great fool.
Exclamatory: What a fool you are!
Assertive : The boy is very strong.
Exclamatory : How strong the boy is!
Rule 2 : Assertive sentence-এ wish থাকলে exclamatory করার শুরুতে if / had বসে।

Assertive : I wish I could do it.
Exclamatory: If I could do it!
Rule 3 : Assertive sentence-এর ক্ষেত্রে যদি rejoice / It is a matter of joy / delight / surprise ইত্যাদি word ব্যবহূত হয় সে ক্ষেত্রে exclamatory sentence-এ এদের পরিবর্তে hurrah বা brave ব্যবহূত হয়।
আবার Assertive sentence-এর প্রথমে It is a matter of sorrow / grief / sad / regret ইত্যাদি ব্যবহূত হয় সে ক্ষেত্রে এদের পরিবর্তে sentence-এর প্রথমে alas ব্যবহূত হয়। Conjunction হিসেবে ব্যবহূত that উঠে যায় এবং অবশিষ্ট বাক্যাংশ অপরিবর্তিত থাকে।
Example
Assertive : We rejoice that we have won the match.
Exclamatory : Hurrah! we have won the match.

প্রিয় শিক্ষার্থীরা, আজ ইংরেজি ২য় পত্রের গ্রামার অংশ থেকে ‘Transformation of Sentence’ নিয়ে আলোচনা করব।
Transformation of sentence

 Rule-4 : Affirmative sentence-এ always থাকলে, এর পরিবর্তে never এবং key wordটির বিপরীতার্থক (antonym) ব্যবহার করে negative করতে হয়।
Example: Affirmative : We always remember the martyrs.
Negative: We never forget the martyrs.
Affirmative: We are always regular in our duties.
Negative: We are never irregular in our duties.
Rule 5: As soon as-কে negative করতে হলে প্রথমে as soon as-এর পরিবর্তে no sooner had বসে। এরপর সে sentence-এর subject বসবে, verb-এর participle বসে এবং sentence-এর বাকি অংশ বসবে। তারপর than এবং সবশেষে দ্বিতীয় sentenceটি বসবে।
Example: Affirmative : As soon as the thief saw the police, he ran away.
Negative: No sooner had the thief seen the police than he ran away.
Rule 6: Affirmative sentence-এ too...to থাকলে negative করার সময় too...to-এর পরিবর্তে so...that দিয়ে পরিবর্তন করতে হবে।
Example: Affirmative : He is too dishonest to speak the truth.
Negative: He is so dishonest that he cannot speak the truth.
Affirmative : They were too nice to use just at present.
Negative: They were so nice that they could not be used just at present.
Rule 7: As...as যুক্ত affirmative sentence-কে negative করতে হলে প্রথমে as-এর জায়গায় not less এবং পরের as-এর জায়গায় than বসে।
Example: Affirmative : Rina’s knowledge in English is as sound as Shova.
Negative: Rina’s knowledge in English is not less sound than Shova.
Rule 8: ‘For ever’ কিংবা ‘For good’ যুক্ত বাক্যগুলোকে negative করতে হলে never এবং verb-কে বাক্যের প্রয়োজন অনুযায়ী পরিবর্তন করতে হবে।
Example: Affirmative : He has left the tuition for good.
Negative: He will never join the tuition again.
Affirmative: Rana has given up gambling for ever.
Negative: Rana will never play gambling again.
Rule 9 : Continuous tense যুক্ত বাক্যগুলোকে negative করতে হলে it is not that বসবে এবং পরবর্তী অংশ negative করতে হবে।
Example: Affirmative : He is going to the function.
Negative: It is not that he is not going to the function.
Affirmative: I am digging the field.
Negative: It is not that I am not digging the field.
Rules 10 : ‘Be verb’ যুক্ত affirmative adjective থাকলে complement হিসেবে কাজ করে। এ ধরনের affirmative sentence-কে negative করতে হলে not বসিয়ে বিপরীত adjective বসাতে হবে।
Example : Affirmative : Man is mortal.
Negative : Man is not immortal.
Affirmative : It is an easy term.
Negative : It is not a complex term.

Complex to Simple
Rule 1: since/as/when-যুক্ত complex sentence-কে Simple sentence-এ পরিবর্তন করতে হলে—
(i) Complex sentence-এর দুটি clause-এর subject এক হলে সে ক্ষেত্রে simple sentence-এ পরিবর্তনের নিয়ম:
since/as/when উঠে যায় + subordinate clause-এর মূল verb-এর ing form, subordinate clause-এর প্রথমে বসে + main clauseটি অপরিবর্তিত থাকে। Example:
Complex : When the thief saw the police, he ran away.
Simple : Seeing the police, the thief ran away.
(ii) দুটি clause-এর subject ভিন্ন হলে এবং প্রথম clauseটিতে am/is/are/was/ were/has/have/had থাকলে প্রথম clause-এ am/is/are/was/were-এর পরিবর্তে being বসে বা has/have/had-এর পরিবর্তে having বসে + দ্বিতীয় clauseটি বসে। Example:
Complex : When the sun had set, we stopped our playing.
Simple : The Sun having set, we stopped our playing.
(iii) Complex sentence-এর clause দুটির subject যদি এক হয় এবং to be verb থাকে, তবে since/as-এর পরিবর্তে প্রথমে because of + সেই clause-এর subject-এর possessive form বসে + am/is/are/was/ were-এর পরিবর্তে being বা has/have/had-এর পরিবর্তে having + sentence-এর বাকি অংশ + comma + বাকি sentenceটি বসে। Example:
Complex : Since he was weak, he couldn’t work hard.
Simple : Because of his being weak, he couldn’t work hard.
Rule 2 : Relative pronoun-যুক্ত complex sentence-কে simple করার নিয়ম:
(i) প্রদত্ত sentenceটির প্রথম থেকে relative pronoun (who/which/that)-এর পূর্ব পর্যন্ত বসে + relative pronounটি উঠে যায় + relative pronoun-এর পরে auxiliary verb থাকলে উঠে যায় + মূল verb-এর present form-এর সঙ্গে ing + বাকি অংশ বসে। Example:

Complex to Simple
Rule 3: If clause দ্বারা সূচিত complex sentenceটি যদি না-বোধক অর্থ প্রকাশ করে, সে ক্ষেত্রে complex sentence-কে simple করতে হলে:
প্রথমে without বসে + ‘if’ clause এর মূল verb-এর present form-এর সঙ্গে ing যোগ করতে হবে + verb-এর পরের অংশ + অপর clauseটি বসবে। Example:
Complex : If you do not work hard, you will not prosper in life.
Simple : Without working hard, you will not prosper in life.
(ii) যদি ‘if’ clauseটি affirmative হয়, simple করার সময় without শব্দটির জায়গায় by বসে।
Example:
Complex : If you work hard, you can succeed in life.
Simple : By working hard, you can succeed in life.
Rule 4. So that-যুক্ত complex sentence-কে simple sentence-এ পরিণত করতে হলে main clause অপরিবর্তিত থাকে এবং sentence-এর প্রথমে বসবে + so that উঠে গিয়ে to/in order to main clause-এর পরে বসবে + may/might/can/could উঠে যাবে + sentence-এর বাকি অংশ বসবে। Example:
