=====================================

Voice হচ্ছে ক্রিয়ার প্রকাশভঙ্গি যার মাধ্যমে বোঝা যায় যে কোন বাক্যের subject কাজটি করছে/করেছে/করবে নাকি কাজটি subject দ্বারা করা হচ্ছে/হয়েছে/হবে।

Voice is the way of expressing verbs which describes whether the subject does the work or it has been done by the subject.

Types of Voice:

Voice দুই প্রকারঃ

• Active voice
• Passive voice

Active voice:

যে sentence-এ ‍ subject নিজে সক্রিয়ভাবে কাজটি করে সেই sentence-এ verb-এর active voice হয়।

The sentence in which the subject does the work by himself actively in that sentence the verb has an active voice.

Sentence Structure:

Subject + Verb + Object

Example:

• I write articles.

Passive voice:

যে sentence-এ ‍ subject নিজে সক্রিয়ভাবে কাজটি করে না বরং object-এর কাজটি তার দ্বারা করা হয় সেই sentence-এ verb-এর passive voice হয়।

The sentence in which the subject does not do the work by himself actively rather the object’s work is done by the subject in that sentence the verb has passive voice.

Sentence Structure:

Object + be verb+ verb’s past participle + by+ subject

Example:

• Articles are written by me.

Active voice’s object is changed to passive voice’s subject.

c. মূল verb-এর past participle ব্যবহৃত হয় এবং auxiliary verb/ be verb নির্বাচন করা হয় subject এবং tense অনুযায়ী ।

Passive voice’s structure in case of Active voice having double object-

Anyone of the two object is taken as the subject (Changing the personal object is better) + Verb’s past participle+ Auxiliary verb according to tense and person+ the other object+ by+ active voice’s subject is written as the object.

Example:

• I gave her a dress. (Active)
• She was given a dress by me. (Passive)

Rule 8:

Complex এবং compound sentence-যুক্ত Active voice-কে passive-এ পরিণত করার সময় উভয় clause-এর voice পরিবর্তন করা হয়।

In case of transforming active voice with the complex and compound sentence, into passive, the voices of both clauses are changed.

Example:

• I know that he sang the song. (Active)
• It is known to me that the song was sung by him. (Passive)

Note:

Active voice যদি “People say” দিয়ে শুরু হয়, তবে একে passive করতে হলে, এর শুরুতে “It is said that” ব্যবহৃত হয়।

If the active voice is started with “People say” while transforming it into passive “It is said that” is used in the beginning.

Example:

• People say that Dhaka is the city of mosques. (Active)
• It is said that Dhaka is the city of mosques. (Passive)

Rule 9:

সাধারণত: intransitive verb-এর passive voice হয় না। কিন্তু যদি intransitive verb-এর পরে preposition যুক্ত হয়ে একটি group verb তৈরী করে এবং এটি intransitive verb হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয়, তবে passive রূপের structure হবে-

Object হবে subject+ Tense অনুসারে Auxiliary verb + Verb-এর past participle+ প্রদত্ত preposition+ by+ subject-এর object।

Generally, the intransitive verb doesn’t have any passive voice. But if preposition is added after the intransitive verb it creates a group verb, and it is used as an intransitive verb then the structure of the passive form will be-

Object will be subject+ Auxiliary verb according to Tense+ Verb’s past participle+ given preposition+ by+ subject’s object.

Example:

• The boy took care of the parrots. (Active)
• The parrots were taken care of by the boy. (Passive)

Rule 10:

Passive voice’s structure in case of active voice having Reflexive objective like myself, yourself, himself, herself, yourselves, ourselves, themselves, etc.-

Same subject of the active voice in passive form + Auxiliary verb according to tense and person+ Verb’s past participle+ by+ the reflexive object.

Example:

• He mocked himself. (Active)
• He was mocked by himself. (Passive)

Rule 11:  

Factitive object/ Complementary object-যুক্ত active voice-এর passive কাঠামো-

দ্রষ্টব্য: যদি কোন বাক্যে transitive verb যেমন: call, make, name, nominate, elect, select, প্রভৃতি থাকে কিন্তু একটি পূর্ণ অর্থ প্রকাশ করতে একটি অতিরিক্ত object ব্যবহৃত হয়, তবে এই অতিরিক্ত objectটিকে Factitive object/ Complementary object বলে।

Him, her, me, us, you, them, প্রভৃতিকে active রূপে নেয়া হয় এবং subject হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয়+ Tense and person অনুযায়ী Auxiliary verb+ Verb-এর past participle+ factitive object+ by+ subject-এর object.

Passive voice’s structure in case of active voice having Factitive object/ Complementary object-

Note: If a sentence has a transitive verb like call, make, name, nominate, elect, select, etc. but still can’t express a full meaning and an extra object is used to have the full meaning. This extra object is called Factitive object/ Complementary object.

Him, her, me, us, you, them etc. are taken to active form and used as subject+ Auxiliary verb according to tense and person+ Verb’s past participle+ factitive object+ by+ subject’s object.

Example:

• They made me a moderator. (Active)
• I was made a moderator by them. (Passive)

Rule 12:

Object-টি ‍subject হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয়+ Tense অনুসারে Auxiliary verb+ Verb-এর past participle+ by+ Subject-এর object.

Passive voice’s structure in case of active voice having cognate object-

Cognate object: Some intransitive verbs use some supporting object and act as a transitive verb. These supporting objects are called as a Cognate object.
