1. Voice Change-Assertive-Basic
Assertive Sentence

Voice change (Active থেকে Passive) করতে প্রাথমিক ভাবে ৪ টি কাজ করতে হয়:

1. Active এর Object কে Passive এর Subject করতে হয়

2. পরিবর্তিত subject এর পর Auxiliary Verb বসানো

Note: Auxiliary Verb বসানোর কৌশলঃ

Active

Passive

PV present রুপে থাকলে

am / is / are

PV past রুপে থাকলে

was / were

PV টি ing যুক্ত থাকলে

ঐ Tense এরই Auxi + being

have / has / had

have / has / had + been

shall / will / should /may/ can/must/ be going to/have to etc (Modal Auxiliary)

shall / will / should /may/ can/must/be going to/have to etc (Modal Auxi) + be

3. PV এর past participle বসানো

4. Active এর Subject কে passive এ by + object (সাধারণত: by)করা

Examples:

Active

Passive

1. We learn English

English is learnt by us.

2. John saw the man

The man was seen by John

3. Hasan is taking tea

Tea is being taken by Hasan.

4. The student has done the sum.

5. Della can cook rice

6. I am going to read the story

Some important things:

Active

Passive

do not / does not (e.g. : He does not take tea)

am not / is not /are not (e.g. :Tea is not taken by him)

did not (e.g. : He did not take tea)

was not /were not (e.g. : Tea was not taken by him.)

Auxi + not (e.g. : I have not written the message)

১ম Auxi + not + ---( ঊপরের নিয়ম অনুসারে Auxi)(e.g. : The message has not been written by me)

Double objects (e.g.: Mother gave me a pen)

যে কোনটিকে Subject (অপরটি verb এর পরে বসে যায়)- ব্যক্তি নেয়া ভাল

(e.g. : I was given a pen by mother)

or: A pen was given me by mother .

Voice change (Passive থেকে Active):

1. By + object অংশকে Active এর subject করা। (বিশেষ কিছু verb এর ক্ষেত্রে by না থেকে to/at/with/in etc থাকে।)

Note: passive এ কর্ম সম্পাদনকারী কম গুরুত্ব পায় বলে তা একেবারে শেষে উল্লেখ থাকে। মাঝে মাঝে বাক্যে by + object অর্থাৎ যার দ্বারা কাজটি সম্পন্ন সে অংশ অনুল্লেখও থাকতে পারে। এ ধরণের বাক্যে by someone / by anyone / by somebody / by the people /by + ----অর্থানুসারে ধরে নিতে হয়।যেমনঃ Passive: Rome was not built in a day. Active: The people of Rome did not build in a day.

2. Active এর tense অনুসারে Auxiliary Verb এবং Principal Verb

3. Passive এর subject টি Active এর object হয়ে যায়। যেমনঃ Passive: The cheques are being signed by the manager. Active: The manager is signing the cheques

2. Voice Change-Assertive-Exception
Assertive Sentence-ব্যতিক্রম:

Voice change (Active থেকে Passive)

1. Double Object এর দুটিই একই ব্যক্তি বা বস্তুকে বোঝালে, অবশ্যই প্রথমটিকে Subject ধরতে হয়। যেমন:

Active: We made him captain

Passive: He was made captain by us. (NB: Captain was made him by us. -Incorrect)

2.

Active

Passive

কিছু বিশেষ Verb: know / annoy / seize / fill / cover / burn / burden/ satisfy / please / marvel / shock / surprise / vex / contain / bed

by গ্রহন করে না। এরা to / at / with / in etc

known to / annoyed with / seized with / filled with / covered with / burned with / burdened with / satisfied with/at / pleased with/at / marvelled at / shocked at / surprised at / vexed at / contained in / bedded on / embodied to

3.

Object হিসেবে self/ selves যুক্ত pronoun

(e.g. He killed himself)

Active এর Subj কেই Sub ধরে +......+ by+ self/selves যুক্ত pronoun (e.g. : He was killed by himself)

4.

Active

Passive

Object + Ving+----e.g. : I saw him going to college

V3 + Ving+---- + by + obj. e.g. : He was seen going to college by me.

He was taking the dollar to buy gloves.

/ He helped me yesterday

5. Active voice এ দুটি object এর মধ্যে যদি একটির পূর্বে preposition থাকে, সে ক্ষেত্রে যে object এর পূর্বে preposition নেই, সেটিকে passive voice এর subject ধরে voice change করতে হয়। যেমনঃ They suggested a plan to us. Passive: A plan was suggested to us by them.

6. Preposition যুক্ত verb গুলো Transitive verb এর ন্যায় কাজ করে বলে এদের passive ব্যবহৃত হয়। এ ক্ষেত্রে verb এর সাথে থাকা preposition টি অবিচ্ছিন্নভাবে রাখতে হয়। যেমনঃ Active: We talked of them. Passive: They were talked of by us.

7. Quasi passive verb যখন complement সহ থাকে, তখন তার passive করার নিয়ম হলো-Subject + Be verb + complement + when /if + it + be verb + P.V এর তৃতীয় রূপ।যেমনঃ Active: Honey tastes sweet. Passive: Honey is sweet when / if it is tasted.

8. Quasi passive verb যখন complement বিহীন থাকে, তখন তার passive করার নিয়ম হলো-Subject + tense অনুসারে Be verb + P.V এর তৃতীয় রূপ।যেমনঃ Active: The house is building. Passive: The house is being built.

9. একাধিক clause থাকা বাক্যের passive করার নিয়ম হলোঃ ১. দুটি clause কে আলাদা আলাদা passive করা যায়। অথবা ২. দ্বিতীয় clause কে আলাদা ভাবে passive করে প্রথম clause এর subject ধরে passive করা যায়। যেমনঃ Active: I know that he did the work. Passive: 1. It is known to me that the work was done by him. 2. That the work was done by him is known to me.
