Right
form of verb
ইংরেজি ভাষায় একটি Sentence-এ ব্যবহূত প্রতিটি word-ই কোনো
না কোনো কাজ করে থাকে। প্রতিটি word-এর মধ্যে verb সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ। সাধারণত যে
word দ্বারা কোনো কিছু করা, হওয়া, থাকা, বোঝায় তাকে verb বলে। Verb is the heart
of sentence. তাই verb-কে বাক্যের প্রাণ বলা হয়ে থাকে। Latin শব্দ verbum থেকে এই শব্দটির
উৎপত্তি। বাক্যের গঠনশৈলীতে noun-এর পরই verb-এর স্থান। Noun, pronoun ও object-কে
বিশেষভাবে গতিশীল করে রাখে এই verb। Verb ছাড়া কোনো sentence তৈরি করা যায় না।
Verb-গুলো সাধারণত voice, tense, mood, narration ও Sentence পরিবর্তনে সহায়তা করে
থাকে। একটি sentence-এ দুই ধরনের verb ব্যবহূত হতে পারে। যেমন: Principle verb ও
Auxiliary verb.
Principle verb : যে verb-এর নিজস্ব অর্থ থাকে না, বিভিন্ন
প্রকাশের জন্য অন্যের ওপর নির্ভর করতে হয় না, তাকে principle verb বলে।
Auxiliary verb : যে verb-এর নিজস্ব অর্থ থাকে না, বিভিন্ন
প্রকার sentence অথবা tense, voice বা mood-এর রূপ গঠনের জন্য অন্য verb-কে সাহায্য
করে থাকে, তাকে Auxiliary verb বলে।
Example
: Rana is writing an application.
মনে রাখতে হবে, একই verb, Principle and Auxiliary দুইভাবেই
ব্যবহূত হতে পারে। যেমন: I am a student. এখানে ‘am’ Principle verb.
আবার,
I am writing a letter. এখানে ‘am’ Auxiliary verb.
Principle verb ও Auxiliary verb ছাড়াও Finite verb,
Non-Finite verb, Transitive verb ও Intransitive verb রয়েছে। এগুলো বাক্য গঠনের ক্ষেত্রে
অগ্রণী ভূমিকা পালন করে থাকে।
