 Rule - 01:

         Verb এর Subject হিসেবে যদি কোন Pronoun আসে তাহলে Nominative form হবে আর verb এর object হিসেবে যদি কোন Pronoun আসে তাহলে objective form হবে।

For Example:

He and they followed me and her.

I saw her at the play.

Rule - 02:

Infinitive, Gerund কিংবা Participle এর Object হিসেবে যদি কোন Pronoun আসে তাহলে ঐ Pronoun টিকে objective form করে use করতে হবে।

For Example:

They tried to follow me.

After dropping Sujana and her, I came here.

Rule - 03:

Subject + verb + Objective pronoun/noun + Infinitive (to+verb). অর্থাৎ tell, order, oblige,  compel, allow, permit, teach, instruct, warn, urge, advise, tempt, encourage, request, forbid, show, how, remind, etc এর পর Object  + Infinitive বসে।

For Example:

The commander ordered them to go.

         She showed them how to play on harmonium.

Rule - 04:

Preposition এর object হিসেবে যদি কোন Pronoun আসে তাহলে ঐ Pronoun টিকে objective form এ use করতে হবে।

For Example:

He always looks after me.

You can depend on him and her.

Rule - 05:

Be verb (am, is, are, was, were etc.) এর complement হিসেবে যদি কোন  Pronoun আসে তাহলে ঐ Pronoun টি Nominative form হবে।

For Example:

It is he who did this.      

Hers is she.

 

Rule - 06:

Who/Whom এর ব্যবহার :

Who + Verb ------

Whom + Noun/ Pronoun-----

Verb এর Subject হিসেবে কোনো প্রকার চিন্তাভাবনা ছাড়াই who use করতে হবে। আর Noun/pronoun এর সাথে  whom use করতে হবে কারণ এক্ষেত্রে whom টি verb এর  object হয়।

For Example:  

I know the man who is waiting for you.

         You are the lady whom he wants.

For Example:

Tell this who/whom looks confident.

Tell this who/whom you find.

Tell this who/whom you think is confident.

 

Rule - 07:

Relative Pronoun (who, which, that) এর পরে verb সবসময় তার antecedent অনুযায়ী হবে অর্থাৎ relative pronoun এর immediately আগে যে Noun বা pronoun আছে সেটা অনুযায়ী হবে।

For Example:

It is you who are responsible for this.

I have lost the books which were bought from this store

         It is I who am your friend.

         [Here the verb after the relative pronoun is determined by I]

 

Rule - 08:

Relative Pronoun সবসময় তার antecedent এর পাশেই বসে।

For Example:

Inc: The man will be punished who has done this

Corr: The man who has done this will be punished

 

Rule - 09:

বাংলায় (আমি, তুমি ও সে) বলা হয়, কিন্তু ইংরেজিতে (তুমি, সে ও আমি) এভাবে ব্যবহৃত হয়।

For Example: You, he and I are to organize the show.

_ Which one of the following sentences is correct? (C Unit 1999-2000)

A. Selim, you and I shall be punished.

B. I, you and Selim shall be punished.

C. You, me and Selim shall be punished.

PD. You, Selim and I shall be punished.

আবার দোষ স্বীকার করলে (আমি, তুমি ও সে) এভাবেই ব্যবহৃত হয়।

For Example: I, you and he are in the wrong. [/collapsed]
