Narrations: Direct and Indirect

Narration

Narration আয়ত্ত করতে হলে প্রথমে Tense, modals, person, 5 kinds of sentences ইত্যাদি ভালোভাবে জানা প্রয়োজন। দ্বিতীয়ত, Direct থেকে Indirect Narration করার সময় যেসব verbs ও adverbs পরিবর্তিত হয় সেগুলো মুখস্থ করা বা মনে রাখা দরকার।

Tense পরিবর্তনের নিয়ম:

Direct narration-এর Reporting verb  যদি  Present বা Future Tense হয় তাহলে Reported speech-এ Tense-এর পরিবর্তন হয় না। 

Direct: He says, I am ill."

Indirect: He says that he is ill. 

Direct: Rana will say, 'I am sorry."

Indirect: Rana will say that he is sorry.

কিন্তু Reporting verb যদি Past tense-এর হয় তাহলে নিম্নোক্ত নিয়মে Reported speech-এর tense পরিবর্তিত হবে :

Direct-এ এই Tense থাকলেIndirect-এ এই Tense হবে
 1. Present Indefinite TensePast Indefinite Tense
2. Present Continuous Tense Past Continuous Tense
3. Present Perfect Tense Past Perfect Tense
4. Present Perfect Continuous Tense Past Perfect Continuous Tense
5. Past Indefinite Tense Past Perfect Tense
6. Past Continuous TensePast Perfect Continuous Tense

 

2. Words / phrases পরিবর্তনের নিয়ম : কিছু কিছু words/phrases আছে যেগুলো Direct থেকে Indirect করার পর পরিবর্তিত হয়। সেগুলোর একটি তালিকা দেয়া হলো :

 

Direct-এ এই শব্দগুচ্ছ থাকলে

Indirect-এ এই শব্দগুচ্ছ হয়

This — এটি/এটা/এইthat — এটি/এটা/ ঐ
These এগুলোthose ওগুলো
Now – এখনthen — তখন

Thus – এভাবে so – তাই

[বি.দ্র. It-এর কোনো পরিবর্তন হয় না। সেই সাথে ডান দিকের শব্দগুচ্ছ যদি Direct Narration-এ আসে তাহলে সেগুলোও পরিবর্তিত হবে না। যেমন— come থাকলে go হবে কিন্তু ২০ থাকলে go-ই হবে, come হবে না |
