Sentence Structure

A grammatically correct Sentence has a Subject Phrase, a Verb Phrase and an Object Phrase.

Subject has a Noun or Pronoun that shows who the sentence is about.
Verb tells us the action that the Subject is taking.
Object tells us on whom the Subject is taking the action.

Structural difference between English and Bangla:

English is a S-V-O language. The sentence order is Subject, Verb and Object.
Bangla is a S-O-V language. The sentence order is Subject, Object and Verb.

Planning the Sentence

To make the process of creating a grammatically correct sentence a little easier for you, this Wizard :

Uses a limited vocabulary, and translates the English words to Bangla
Restricts the Subject Phrase to simple Pronouns like I, You and Him/Her
Uses a Verb Conjugation Wizard to get the Bangla conjugation of an English Verb, based on your choice of Person and Tense
Based on your Verb choice, it provides a hint of the kinds of sentences you can build
Will let you choose your Noun in forming the Object Phrase.
You can add an optional determiner for the Noun
At each stage of Sentence creation, the Sentence status will be displayed in a floating window, always visible on the top right.

The objective is to let you see a sentence as it forms. In this case, the simplest sentence with Pronouns, Nouns, Determiners and Verbs. Adjectives, Adverbs, Prepositions and Conjunctions are used in the more advanced The Sentence Wizard

In this wizard we will construct a Simple sentence that will have a Subject, Verb and Object. The vocabulary has been limited so that you can focus on and understand the different Parts of Speech (POS) and their use in forming a grammatically correct Bangla sentence. The following POS are used here:

Subject Phrase
- Pronoun to show the person performing the action
Verb Phrase
- Verb conjugated by Person and Tense
- Optional Adverb to further describe the Verb action
Object Phrase
- Noun to define the person, place or thing on whom the action is taken
- Optional Determiner to specify an instance of the Noun

The constructed sentence will look like this:

English S-V-O
Subject (Pronoun) Verb (Verb) Object (Determiner Noun)

Bangla S-O-V
Subject (Pronoun) Object (Determiner Noun) Verb (Verb)

Note that Subject, Object and Verb positions in the Sentence are different.

Building a Sentence

Let us start to create the sentence.

1 The Subject Phrase

We will start by creating the Subject.

1 a) Choose the Pronoun for the Subject

Choose a Pronoun which matches your idea of the sentence you will create.

I আমি ami
We আমরা amora
You তুমি tumi
You(pl.) তোমরা tomora
He/She ও O
They ওরা Ora

Pronoun choice

2 The Verb Phrase

We will now choose a root verb for the sentence.

2 a) Choosing the root Verb for the Verb Phrase

Since Verbs are conjugated based on Person and Tense, we will then choose the Verb Form that we want in the sentence.

Click on the Verb.

Conjugated Verb list will be shown here.

2 b) Select Verb Form

You can then select the Verb form.

Verb Conjugation choice

3 Creating the Object Phrase

We are ready to create the Object Phrase.

3 a) Start with a Noun

Choose a Noun which matches your idea of the Object of the sentence.

Noun choice

3 b) Add Optional Determiner

Determiners are words that point to a specific instance of a Noun. For example, instead of saying "dog", you may want to say "that dog". Its use in Bangla is quite limited, except when you are pointing at something as in "I want that fish".

Choose a Determiner (or the "I do not want.." button) based on the sentence you want to create.

Determiner choice

The Complete Sentence - Subject, Object and Verb

The Complete sentence is shown in the floating box in upper right of the window.

Changing the Subject, Object and Verb

You can go back to the relevant sections and change any of the components of the sentence. The sentence will be dynamically recreated using your changes and the sentence will be shown on the floating Sentence Status box on the upper right.

Manually fine-tuning your Bangla Sentence

This Wizard has a restricted vocabulary and forms sentences with a single Subject, Object and Verb. Advanced users may want to adjust the created sentence. The current sentence is already in the English Phonetic. Make your changes in English Phonetic and see your enhanced Bangla Sentence.
