উত্তর: খ. He is a boy of three years old

 

 

 

 

"He is a boy of three years old" হল সঠিক বাক্য। এই বাক্যটি একটি ব্যক্তির বয়স প্রকাশ করার জন্য ব্যবহৃত হয়। এখানে বয়সের সঠিক প্রকাশ পদ্ধতি ব্যবহার করা হয়েছে।

অন্যান্য option গুলি কেন সঠিক নয়:

 

ক. "He is a boy of three": এই বাক্যটি গ্রামারের দিক থেকে সঠিক, কিন্তু এটি সম্পূর্ণ নয়। এখানে "years" শব্দটি বাদ পড়েছে, যা বয়সের একক হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয়।

গ. "He is a boy of three years old boy": এই বাক্যটিতে "boy" শব্দটি দুইবার ব্যবহৃত হয়েছে, যা অপ্রয়োজনীয় পুনরাবৃত্তি।

ঘ. "He is a boy of three years age": এই বাক্যটিতে "age" শব্দটি অপ্রয়োজনীয়। "years old" ইতিমধ্যেই বয়সকে নির্দেশ করে, তাই "age" যোগ করা অতিরিক্ত।

 

বয়স প্রকাশ করার জন্য ইংরেজিতে কয়েকটি গ্রহণযোগ্য পদ্ধতি রয়েছে:

1. "He is three years old."

2. "He is a three-year-old boy."

3. "He is a boy of three years old." (প্রদত্ত সঠিক উত্তর)

এই পদ্ধতিগুলি সবই গ্রামারের দিক থেকে সঠিক এবং একই অর্থ প্রকাশ করে। তবে, প্রথম দুটি পদ্ধতি আরও বেশি ব্যবহৃত হয় এবং সংক্ষিপ্ত।
