Choose the passive form of 'Visitors found him playing football.'
A Visitors were found playing football by him.
B He was found playing football by visitors.
C Visitors found that football was played by him.
D He was playing football that was seen by visitors.
Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
- যখন active voice এ object + present participle phrase থাকে (যেমন, him playing football), passive voice তৈরির সময় object (him) কে subject বানানো হয়।
- Present participle phrase ("playing football") অপরিবর্তিত থাকে এবং ওই phrase টি object-র ক্রিয়া অব্যাহত রাখে।
- মূল subject (Visitors) কে দ্বারা (by visitors) দিয়ে passive sentence এ প্রকাশ করা হয়।
- অতএব, "Visitors found him playing football." এর passive হবে "He was found playing football by visitors."
অন্য কোনো অপশনে সঠিক passive voice রূপ প্রকাশিত হয়নি:
- Option 1 (Visitors were found...) subject ঠিক নয় এবং active voice এর মত মনে হচ্ছে।
- Option 3 (Visitors found that football was played by him.) অর্থ পরিবর্তিত, কারণ এখানে visitors কে subject রাখা হয়েছে এবং football কে active participle phrase থেকে noun phrase-এ রূপান্তর করা হয়েছে।
- Option 4 (He was playing football that was seen by visitors.) passive sentence হলেও মূল বাক্যের অর্থ থেকে ভিন্ন; এখানে emphasis আছে "playing football" on going action যা দেখা হয়েছে, যা মূল বাক্যের অর্থ নয়।
সুতরাং, সঠিক উত্তর হলো:
"He was found playing football by visitors."
