এই article-এ SSC 2027-এর জন্য Tag Question-এর গুরুত্বপূর্ণ rules, examples, special cases এবং board-style practice questions দেওয়া হলো।

Note: নিচের প্রশ্নগুলো SSC 2027 preparation-এর জন্য model practice। এগুলো কোনো বোর্ডের হুবহু বা নিশ্চিত প্রশ্ন হিসেবে দাবি করা হচ্ছে না।

 

What is a Tag Question?

কোনো affirmative বা negative statement-এর শেষে confirmation বা agreement চাওয়ার জন্য যে ছোট প্রশ্ন যোগ করা হয়, তাকে Tag Question বলে।

Example:

You are a student, aren't you?

এখানে,

• You are a student = Statement
• aren't you? = Tag Question

আরও কিছু example:

• He is honest, isn't he?
• They are not ready, are they?
• You like English, don't you?

 

Basic Rule of Tag Question

Tag Question-এর সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ নিয়ম হলো:

Affirmative Statement → Negative Tag

He is a student, isn't he?

Negative Statement → Affirmative Tag

He isn't a student, is he?

সহজভাবে মনে রাখুন:

Positive → Negative
Negative → Positive

 

Rule 1: Auxiliary Verb থাকলে

Statement-এ যদি auxiliary verb থাকে, তাহলে সেই auxiliary verb-ই Tag Question-এ ব্যবহার করতে হবে।

Examples:

He is a teacher, isn't he?

They are happy, aren't they?

She was absent, wasn't she?

You have finished the work, haven't you?

They will come, won't they?

 

Rule 2: Auxiliary Verb না থাকলে

Statement-এ auxiliary verb না থাকলে tense অনুযায়ী do, does বা did ব্যবহার করতে হয়।

Present Indefinite

He plays football, doesn't he?

They play football, don't they?

Past Indefinite

He went there, didn't he?

They played well, didn't they?

 

Rule 3: Subject-এর পরিবর্তে Pronoun

Tag Question-এর subject সাধারণত statement-এর subject-এর corresponding pronoun হবে।

Examples:

Rahim is a student, isn't he?

Rahim → he

Mina is a student, isn't she?

Mina → she

The boys are playing, aren't they?

The boys → they

The book is interesting, isn't it?

The book → it

 

Rule 4: I am

I am-এর ক্ষেত্রে Tag Question হবে:

I am → aren't I?

I am late, aren't I?

এটি Tag Question-এর একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ special rule।
