উত্তরঃ with

The correct preposition to use in this context is "with". The verb "supply" often takes "with" when indicating what is provided to someone or something. The common structure is "supply [person/thing] with [item]".

        
  • Supply someone with something: This means to provide a person with an item or resource. For example, "The examinees will be supplied with paper."
  •     
  • Supply something to someone: This structure is also correct but implies the item is being given to the person. For example, "Paper will be supplied to the examinees."

In the given sentence, "The examinees will be supplied ___ paper", the examinees are receiving the paper, so "with" correctly indicates what they are being equipped or provided with.

The correct preposition to use with 'guilty' when referring to the crime or offense committed is 'of'. 'Guilty of' is a fixed prepositional phrase in English, meaning responsible for or having committed a particular crime or wrongdoing.

উত্তরঃ since

In English grammar, the preposition 'since' is used to indicate the starting point of an action or state that began in the past and continues up to the present moment. It is commonly used with perfect tenses, such as the present perfect simple or present perfect continuous.

The sentence "It has been raining ---- Monday last" uses the present perfect continuous tense ("has been raining") to describe an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. "Monday last" specifies a particular point in time when the action began. Therefore, 'since' is the appropriate preposition to connect the continuous action to its starting point.

Key distinctions:

        
  • Since: Used with a specific point in time (e.g., Monday, 1999, 5 o'clock, she left).
  •     
  • For: Used with a duration of time (e.g., two hours, three days, many years, a long time).

Examples:

        
  • I haven't seen him since last week.
  •     
  • She has been working here since 2010.
  •     
  • They have lived in Dhaka for five years.
  •     
  • He has been waiting for an hour.

In this context, 'Monday last' clearly denotes the specific starting point, making 'since' the grammatically correct choice.

Principal or Lexical Verb:

Verbs which are used independently without the help of other verbs, are called Principal or Main verb.

Example:- He is a singer.
- She does her job.
- They have many problems.

Lexical verb (যাকে অনেকে Content verb বা Full verb-ও বলে থাকেন) হলো সেইসব verb যা বাক্যে একটি স্বতন্ত্র এবং পরিষ্কার অর্থ প্রকাশ করে। সহজ কথায়, কোনো বাক্যে মূল কাজ বা অবস্থা বোঝাতে যে প্রধান verb-টি ব্যবহার করা হয়, সেটিই হলো Lexical verb।

১. মূল বৈশিষ্ট্যসমূহ:

  • এটি বাক্যের প্রধান অর্থ বহন করে।

  • ডিকশনারিতে এই verb-গুলোর একটি নির্দিষ্ট এবং স্বাধীন অর্থ পাওয়া যায়।

  • বাক্যে এটি একা বসতে পারে অথবা সাহায্যকারী verb-এর (Auxiliary verb) সাথে বসতে পারে।

  • lexical verb-এর বিভিন্ন রূপ থাকে (যেমন: go, went, gone, going, goes)।

২. Lexical verb বনাম Auxiliary verb:

বাক্যে এই দুই ধরণের verb-এর কাজ সম্পূর্ণ আলাদা:

  • Lexical verb: মূল কাজ বোঝায় (যেমন: run, eat, sleep)।

  • Auxiliary verb: বাক্য গঠনে বা Tense প্রকাশে সাহায্য করে, কিন্তু এর নিজস্ব কোনো প্রধান অর্থ থাকে না (যেমন: am, is, are, have, will)।

উদাহরণ: I am reading a book. (এখানে 'am' হলো Auxiliary এবং 'reading' হলো Lexical verb)।

৩. Lexical verb-এর প্রকারভেদ:

Lexical verb বিভিন্ন ধরণের হতে পারে, যা আমরা ইতিপূর্বে বিস্তারিত জেনেছি:

  • Transitive: (যেমন: He bought a car)

  • Intransitive: (যেমন: She smiled)

  • Linking: (যেমন: It tastes good)

  • Regular/Weak: (যেমন: Walk → Walked)

  • Irregular/Strong: (যেমন: Write → Wrote)

৪. ব্যবহারের ধরণ:

ক) স্বাধীন ব্যবহার (একাকী):

  • He works hard.

  • They play football.

খ) সাহায্যকারী verb-এর সাথে ব্যবহার:

  • You should study now.

  • He has finished the task.

৫. কেন একে Lexical বলা হয়?

'Lexicon' শব্দের অর্থ হলো শব্দভাণ্ডার বা অভিধান। যেহেতু এই verb-গুলোর নিজস্ব শাব্দিক অর্থ আছে এবং এরা বাক্যে অর্থপূর্ণ ভূমিকা রাখে, তাই এদের Lexical verb বলা হয়।

৬. কিছু সাধারণ Lexical verb-এর উদাহরণ:

Walk, Talk, Think, Run, Sleep, Study, Give, Take, Make, Build, Buy.

উত্তরঃ We spent the evening as in the old days.

In formal English, the conjunction "as" is used to introduce a clause or a phrase that indicates a comparison or the manner in which something is done. In this sentence, "as in the old days" describes how the evening was spent, implying "in the way it was done in the old days."

Conversely, "like" is primarily used as a preposition to mean "similar to" or "in the manner of," and is typically followed by a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase. While "like" is often used informally in place of "as" or "as if," it is generally considered incorrect in standard written English when introducing a clause or an adverbial phrase of comparison.

For example:

        
  • Incorrect: She sings like she is a professional.
  •     
  • Correct: She sings as if she is a professional.
  •     
  • Correct: She sings like a professional. (Here, 'like' is a preposition followed by a noun phrase 'a professional'.)

Therefore, "as in the old days" is the grammatically correct and more formal choice for this context.

উত্তরঃ It has been raining for two days.

In English grammar, 'since' and 'for' are prepositions used to indicate time, particularly with perfect and perfect continuous tenses, but they have distinct uses:

        
  • For: Used to express a duration of time. It answers the question "How long?". For example, "for three hours," "for five years," "for two days."
  •     
  • Since: Used to indicate a starting point in time. It answers the question "From when?". For example, "since Monday," "since 2010," "since morning."

In the original sentence, "two days" refers to a duration, not a specific starting point. Therefore, 'for' is the correct preposition to use.

উত্তরঃ


In English grammar, the verb 'call' can be used in several ways, and its usage dictates whether a preposition is required. When 'call' means 'to telephone someone', it functions as a transitive verb and directly takes an object without any preposition. For example, one would say "Please call Mr. Khan" to mean telephoning him.

Conversely, if 'call' is used to mean 'to pay a brief visit to someone', it typically forms a phrasal verb with the preposition 'on', as in "to call on someone". For instance, "We will call on our neighbours tomorrow."

Given the structure "Please call – Mr. Khan tomorrow morning", the most common and grammatically appropriate interpretation is that Mr. Khan should be telephoned. Therefore, no preposition is needed in the blank, and the sentence correctly reads "Please call Mr. Khan tomorrow morning."
