Previous Lesson-এর সাথে Connection

Lesson #14-এ আপনি Modal Verbs শিখেছেন। Modal verb-এর পরে V1 বসে। Tense শেখার সময় verb form আরও গুরুত্বপূর্ণ হয়ে যায়, কারণ tense অনুযায়ী verb-এর form, helping verb এবং sentence structure বদলে যায়।

Tense শুধু time বোঝায় না; tense action-এর condition-ও বোঝায়। কাজটি সাধারণভাবে হয়, এখন চলছে, ইতিমধ্যে শেষ হয়েছে, নাকি কোনো সময় ধরে চলছে—এসব tense দিয়ে বোঝানো যায়।

I study English. = Present habit
I studied English. = Past action
I will study English. = Future action
I am studying English. = Action happening now

তাই tense শেখার মূল কাজ হলো: time + verb form + sentence structure বুঝে সঠিক sentence তৈরি করা।
