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 first in forming the Object Phrase.
• Leads you through a series of steps to construct a contextually rich Object Phrase with the Noun followed by optional Prepositions, Determiners and Adjectives
• Will finally let you optionally enhance the Verb Phrase with an Adverb.
• 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 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 Preposition in case you want to provide a place or time context to your Noun
  • Optional Determiner to specify an instance of the Noun
  • Optional Adjective to describe some characterics of the Noun

The constructed sentence will look like this:

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

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

Note that Subject, Object and Verb positions in the Sentence are different. In addition, Adverbs and Prepositions are placed differently in the Verb and Object Phrases respectively.

Preview Sample Sentences

Put your mouse over Preview Sample Sentences to see suggestions on Object formation with the Verbs in the Wizard.

Close the Window, when done.

Let us start to create the sentence.

The Subject Phrase

We will start by creating the Subject.

Choose the Pronoun for the Subject

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

Pronoun choice

 

The Verb Phrase

We will now choose a root verb for the sentence.

Choosing the Conjugated 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.

 

Verb Conjugation choice

Creating the Object Phrase

We are ready to create the Object Phrase.

Hint for Object setup

Start with a Noun

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

Noun choice

Enhancing the Object Phrase

Add Optional Preposition

Prepositions are words that give a location or time dimension to a Noun. For example,

• "I walked road" should be "I walked on the road"
• "He fell table" should be "He fell from the table"
• "He ran house" should be "He ran inside the house"
• "He read lunch" should be "He read before lunch"

If you form a sentence with a Preposition, you should not need a Determiner.

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

Preposition choice

Add Optional Adjective

An Adjective adds description to a Noun. An Adjective can describe size, color, temperature etc of the Noun. The use of an Adjective will make your Object more desriptive.

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

Adjective choice

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".

There is also a set of adjectives that can be made from the Possessive case of a Noun (eg "my house", "uncles's car", "Tagore's songs", "children's books", "friends' houses" or "doctor's car").

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

Determiner choice

Enhancing Verb Phrase

Adding an Adverb to the Verb

An Adverb will add more information to a Verb. In English, the Adverb is added after the Verb as in "go quickly". In Bangla, since it has an S-O-V sequence, the Adverb is added before the Verb as in taRataRi Jabo তাড়াতাড়ি যাব. Adverbs are usually used to emphasize the intent of the Verb as in "I quickly came home" or "He slowly read the book".

Choose an Adverb (or the "I do not want.." button) based on the sentence you want to create. Click on a radio button before the Adverb, then click on button "Select Adverb".

Adverb 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. For example, you could have created a sentence I will go to Kolkata. In this part, you could expand it to I and my family will go to Kolkata in July which adds a Conjunction ("and my family" in the Subject, and a Prepositional phrase ("in July") to the Object. In Phonetic English, change ami kolokataye Jabo. to ami ar amar poribar julai mase kolokataye Jabo. which will be আমি আর আমার পরিবার জুলাই মাসে কলকাতায়ে যাব।

The current sentence is already in the English Phonetic. Make your changes in English Phonetic and see your enhanced Bangla Sentence.
