Tag Question

Definition: ট্যাগ মানে ছোট কিছু যা একটি বাক্যের পরে যুক্ত বা সংযুক্ত করা হয়। একটি ট্যাগ প্রশ্নে, স্পিকার একটি বিবৃতি দেয়, কিন্তু সত্য সম্পর্কে সম্পূর্ণরূপে নিশ্চিত নয়, তাই শ্রোতাদের কাছ থেকে নিশ্চিতকরণ পেতে একটি ট্যাগ প্রশ্ন ব্যবহার করা হয়। ট্যাগ প্রশ্ন ব্যবহার করে বাক্যগুলির মূল ধারাটি একটি কমা দ্বারা ট্যাগ থেকে পৃথক করা উচিত। বাক্যটি সর্বদা একটি প্রশ্ন চিহ্ন দিয়ে শেষ হবে।

We need a clear conception on auxiliary verb and pronoun.

1. Auxiliary Verb:

To be verb	am, is, are, was, were
To do verb	do, does, did
To have verb	have, has, had
Modal Auxiliaries	can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, must, ought to, need, dare, used to

 

2. Pronoun                                                                                      : I, we, you, he, she, it, they, one, there

11. tag question সর্বদা auxiliary verb দ্বারা শুরু হয়।

10. একমাত্র Subject অনুযায়ী verb প্রভাবিত/পরিবর্তন হয়।

3. Some basic rules:        If statement is affirmative             : auxiliary +n’t + pronoun of subject +?

If statement is negative                 : auxiliary  + pronoun of subject+?

Example: You worked hard, didn’t you? I ought to respect our elders, oughtn’t I? We should learn English, shouldn’t we? Fishes cannot fly, can they? The man would do it, wouldn’t he?

For Imperative sentence

4. সাধারনত Imperative sentences শুরু হয়  verb, let, please, kindly, always, don’t, never দিয়ে।
(a) Let us/ let’s থাকলে  = shall we? বসে                        Let us discuss the topic, shall we? Let’s have a party, shall we?
(b) Let me/him/her/them থাকলে =will you? বসে      Let me discuss it, will you? Let them have a party, will you?
(c) Rest of all Imperative sentences থাকলে =will you/won’t you? বসে              Open the door, will you/won’t you?
(d) Offer(সম্মতি)  or invitation(আমন্ত্রন) বোঝালে = won’t you? বসে
5. Statement এ যদি কোন Auxiliary Verb  না থাকে তাহলে To do verb বসাতে হবে।

Tense	Structure	Example
Present Indefinite Tense	do/does+n’t + pronoun of subject+?	He thinks positively, doesn’t he?
Past Indefinite Tense	did+n’t + pronoun of subject+?	He worked hard, didn’t he?

N.B: Negative sentence হলে n’t উঠে যাবে যাবে।                     He didn’t know how to swim, did he?

কিছু Exceptional short form যা মনে রাখতে হবে:

6. am not =aren’t, cannot = can’t, shall not = shan’t, will not = won’t

Example:                                           I am a boy, aren’t I?                                       Neha will sing a song, won’t she?

7. No, never, not, neither, nobody, no one, none, nothing, scarcely, hardly, few, seldom, barely, rarely, too…..to, little এগুলো  Negative অর্থ প্রকাশ করে তাই tag ‍affirmative হবে।

8. a/ the + little or few থাকলে tag হবে  negative.

9. uncountable/invisible/distance/money/time/weight বোঝালে singular subject(it) হয়।

10. Who দ্বারা গঠিত Interrogative Sentence এর tag ‍affirmative হবে এবং Subject they হবে।

Good Morning, Good Evening, Good Night etc
