COMPLEX SENTENCE

Voice Change:
1. Quasi-passive Verb : Quasi শব্দের অর্থ half বা অর্ধেক। অর্থাৎ half-passive = quasi-passive half, অতএব বলা যায়, যেসব verb passive এর অর্থ প্রকাশ করে, তাকে Quasi-passive Verb বলে। এদের passive করতে হলে নিম্নলিখিত নিয়ম অনুসরণ করতে হবে।
১ নম্বর সূত্র: Sub + be verb + complement + when (if) + it/they + be verb + Verb-এর past participle.
২ নম্বর সূত্র: Subject + be verb + Verb-এর past participle + complement.
Active : Honey tastes sweet.
Passive : Honey is sweet when it is tasted. (১ নম্বর সূত্র)
Honey is tasted sweet. (২ নম্বর সূত্র)
Active : The bed feels soft.
Passive : The bed is soft when it is felt
The bed is felt soft.
Active : This story reads funny.
Passive : This story is funny when it is read.
This story is read funny.

2. Reflexive Verb : যে verb-এর subject ও object একই ব্যক্তি, তাকে Reflexive verb বলে এবং Object-টিকে Reflexive object বলে। একে subject করা যায় না। একে by-এর পরই রেখে দিতে হয়। যেমন—
Active : He hurt himself.
Passive : He was hurt by himself.
Active : She killed herself.
Passive : She was killed by herself.
Active : He poisoned himself.
Passive : He was poisoned by himself.

3. Factitive Object : যেসব object ক্ষণস্থায়ী, অর্থাৎ মানুষের মতামতের ওপর যাদের স্থায়িত্ব নির্ভর করে, সেসব object-কে Factitive Object বলে। এদের স্থায়িত্ব স্বল্প বিধায় এদের বাক্যের subject করা যায় না। তাই এদের আগের object-কে subject করে passive voice করতে হয়। যেমন—
Active : We made him captain.
Passive : He was made captain by us. = Captain was made him by us হবে না।
Active : We call him a fool.
Passive : He is called a fool by us. = A fool is called him by us হবে না।
