Tag Question করার নিয়ম ২০২৬ | Tag Question Rules
Tag Question করার নিয়ম হলো ৩টি: (১) Statement positive হলে Tag negative, negative হলে Tag positive; (২) বাক্যের Auxiliary Verb-ই Tag-এ বসে — Auxiliary না থাকলে Tense দেখে do, does বা did বসে; (৩) Subject-এর Pronoun Tag-এর শেষে বসে। যেমন — He is honest, isn't he? আর I am-এর Tag aren't I, Let's-এর Tag shall we।
Tag Question SSC আর HSC পরীক্ষার Grammar অংশের সবচেয়ে কমন আইটেমগুলোর একটা। প্রতিবছরই এখান থেকে ৫ নম্বরের প্রশ্ন আসে, আর নিয়মগুলো একবার ভালো করে বুঝে ফেললে Tag Question-এ পুরো নম্বর পাওয়া সবচেয়ে সহজ। এই পোস্টে Tag Question-এর সব নিয়ম টেবিলে, Contraction টেবিল, ৪০টি উদাহরণ, সবচেয়ে বেশি ভুল হয় এমন জায়গাগুলো, উত্তরসহ অনুশীলন আর SSC/HSC বোর্ড প্রশ্নের প্যাটার্ন — সবকিছু একসাথে দেওয়া হলো।
Tag Question কাকে বলে
কোনো Statement-এর শেষে কমা (,) দিয়ে ছোট একটা প্রশ্ন জুড়ে দিলে তাকে Tag Question বলে। যেমন — He is a good student, isn't he? এখানে "isn't he?" অংশটাই Tag Question। বাংলা অর্থে এটা অনেকটা "তাই নয় কি?"-এর মতো। কথা বলার সময় আমরা কারো সম্মতি নিতে বা নিশ্চিত হতে Tag Question ব্যবহার করি।
Tag Question-এর গঠন: Statement + কমা (,) + Auxiliary Verb + Pronoun + প্রশ্নবোধক চিহ্ন (?)
Tag Question করার ৩টি ধাপ (সহজ নিয়ম)
Tag Question করার সহজ নিয়ম হলো মাত্র ৩টি ধাপ মনে রাখা। প্রতিটা বাক্যের ক্ষেত্রে এই ৩ ধাপেই উত্তর বেরিয়ে আসবে।
ধাপ ১ — Statement positive না negative দেখো। Statement positive হলে Tag negative হবে। Statement negative হলে Tag positive হবে।
ধাপ ২ — সঠিক Auxiliary Verb বাছো। বাক্যে Auxiliary Verb থাকলে সেটাই Tag-এ বসবে। না থাকলে Tense দেখে do, does বা did বসবে।
ধাপ ৩ — সঠিক Pronoun বাছো। Statement-এর Subject অনুযায়ী Tag-এর Pronoun বসবে। নাম থাকলে তার Pronoun (he/she/it/they) বসবে।
এই ৩ ধাপ দিয়ে যেকোনো Tag Question করা যায়। নিচে প্রতিটা ধাপের বিস্তারিত নিয়ম দেওয়া হলো।
Tag Question-এর মূল ৫টি নিয়ম
নিয়ম | ব্যাখ্যা | উদাহরণ |
১. Polarity উল্টো হয় | Positive Statement → Negative Tag; Negative Statement → Positive Tag | He is honest, isn't he? / He is not honest, is he? |
২. Auxiliary Verb একই থাকে | বাক্যের Auxiliary Verb-ই Tag-এ বসে | She can swim, can't she? |
৩. Auxiliary না থাকলে do/does/did | Present Tense-এ do/does, Past Tense-এ did | He reads, doesn't he? / He read, didn't he? |
৪. Pronoun বসে | Subject-এর Pronoun Tag-এ বসে | Rina is happy, isn't she? |
৫. Tag সবসময় সংক্ষিপ্ত রূপে হয় | not-এর সংক্ষিপ্ত রূপ (n't) ব্যবহার হয় | isn't, aren't, don't, didn't |
Auxiliary Verb বাছাইয়ের নিয়ম
বাক্যে যা আছে | Tag-এ যা বসবে | উদাহরণ |
am / is / are / was / were | একই be verb | He is late, isn't he? |
have / has / had (Auxiliary) | একই have verb | They have done it, haven't they? |
can / could / may / might / shall / should / will / would / must | একই Modal | You must obey, mustn't you? |
কোনো Auxiliary নেই + Present (V1) | do | They play, don't they? |
কোনো Auxiliary নেই + Present (V+s/es) | does | She sings, doesn't she? |
কোনো Auxiliary নেই + Past (V2) | did | He went, didn't he? |
has / have / had (মূল Verb, মালিকানা অর্থে) | do / does / did | He has a car, doesn't he? |
used to | did | He used to smoke, didn't he? |
Contraction (সংক্ষিপ্ত রূপ) টেবিল
Tag Question-এ Auxiliary Verb-এর সাথে not-এর সংক্ষিপ্ত রূপ বসে। এই টেবিলটা মুখস্থ থাকলে Tag Question-এ আর ভুল হবে না।
পূর্ণ রূপ | সংক্ষিপ্ত রূপ | পূর্ণ রূপ | সংক্ষিপ্ত রূপ |
am not | aren't (I am → aren't I) | shall not | shan't |
is not | isn't | should not | shouldn't |
are not | aren't | will not | won't |
was not | wasn't | would not | wouldn't |
were not | weren't | can not | can't |
have not | haven't | could not | couldn't |
has not | hasn't | may not | mayn't |
had not | hadn't | might not | mightn't |
do not | don't | must not | mustn't |
does not | doesn't | need not | needn't |
did not | didn't | dare not | daren't |
ought not | oughtn't |
লক্ষ্য করো: "I am"-এর Tag "aren't I" হয় — "amn't I" হয় না। আর "I am not"-এর Tag "am I" হয়।
Pronoun বাছাইয়ের নিয়ম
Statement-এর Subject | Tag-এর Pronoun | উদাহরণ |
I, we, you, he, she, it, they | একই Pronoun | Rina is happy, isn't she? |
নাম (Rina, Kamal, Dhaka) | he / she / it / they | Kamal came, didn't he? |
this, that | it | This is nice, isn't it? |
these, those | they | These are old, aren't they? |
everybody, everyone, somebody, someone, anybody, anyone, nobody, no one, neither | they | Everybody came, didn't they? |
nothing, everything, something, anything | it | Nothing is impossible, is it? |
there | there | There is a book, isn't there? |
one | one | One should do one's duty, shouldn't one? |
all of us | we | All of us are present, aren't we? |
all of you | you | All of you are present, aren't you? |
every + Noun (মানুষ বোঝালে) | they | Every mother loves her child, don't they? |
you and I | we | You and I are friends, aren't we? |
বিশেষ নিয়ম (Special Rules)
বিশেষ ক্ষেত্রগুলোর নিয়ম এক নজরে:
বিশেষ ক্ষেত্র | নিয়ম (সংক্ষিপ্ত) | উদাহরণ |
I am | Tag aren't I | I am a student, aren't I? |
I am not | Tag am I | I am not late, am I? |
Let's (প্রস্তাব) | Tag shall we | Let's go, shall we? |
Imperative | Tag will you | Open the door, will you? |
অনুরোধ | can / could / would you | Please give me a pen, could you? |
Don't দিয়ে শুরু | Tag will you | Don't go, will you? |
Let me / him / them | Tag will you | Let me do it, will you? |
There দিয়ে শুরু | Tag-এ there | There is a book, isn't there? |
Nothing / Everything / Something | Tag-এ it | Nothing is impossible, is it? |
Everybody / Nobody / Someone | Tag-এ they | Everybody came, didn't they? |
Never / Hardly / Seldom / Few / Little | Statement negative ধরা হয়, Tag positive | He hardly comes, does he? |
Has / Have / Had (মূল Verb) | Tag do / does / did | He has a car, doesn't he? |
Has / Have / Had (Auxiliary) | Tag একই Verb | He has done it, hasn't he? |
নিচে প্রতিটা বিশেষ নিয়মের বিস্তারিত ব্যাখ্যা দেওয়া হলো।
১. I am → aren't I / I am not → am I
He is a student, isn't he? — এই নিয়মে I am-এর ক্ষেত্রে ব্যতিক্রম হয়।
I am a student, aren't I?
I am not late, am I?
২. Let's → shall we
প্রস্তাব বোঝালে Let's-এর Tag shall we হয়।
Let's go for a walk, shall we?
Let's have a picnic, shall we?
৩. Imperative Sentence → will you / won't you / can you / could you / would you
আদেশ বা অনুরোধ বোঝানো Imperative Sentence-এর Tag will you হয়। অনুরোধ বোঝালে can you, could you বা would you-ও হয়।
Open the door, will you?
Do the sum, won't you?
Please give me a pen, could you?
Wait here a moment, can you?
Don't দিয়ে শুরু হওয়া Imperative-এর Tag সবসময় will you হয়।
Don't make a noise, will you?
Don't run in the sun, will you?
৪. Let me / Let him / Let them → will you
Let's (প্রস্তাব) আর Let me/him/them (অনুরোধ)-এর Tag আলাদা — এটা পরীক্ষায় প্রায়ই আসে।
Let me do the work, will you?
Let him go there, will you?
৫. There দিয়ে শুরু → there
There দিয়ে শুরু হওয়া বাক্যের Tag-এর Subject-ও there হয়।
There is a school in our village, isn't there?
There are many students, aren't there?
There is no king in China, is there?
৬. Nothing / Everything / Something → it
Nothing is impossible, is it?
Everything looks beautiful, doesn't it?
Something should be done, shouldn't it?
৭. Everybody / Nobody / Someone → they
Everybody wants to be happy, don't they?
Nobody called me, did they?
No one would object, would they?
None of them attended the meeting, did they?
৮. Never / Hardly / Seldom / Rarely / Barely / Scarcely / Few / Little → Negative ধরা হয়
এই শব্দগুলো থাকলে Statement-কে Negative ধরা হয়, তাই Tag positive হয়। এটা Tag Question-এর সবচেয়ে বেশি ভুল হওয়া নিয়ম।
He hardly comes here, does he?
She seldom tells a lie, does she?
He never tells a lie, does he?
Nobody called you, did they?
Few people came, did they?
He has little idea, has he?
মনে রাখো: few negative, কিন্তু a few positive। একইভাবে little negative, a little positive।
Few people came, did they? (few = প্রায় কেউ না)
A few people came, didn't they? (a few = কিছু মানুষ)
৯. Has / Have / Had — মূল Verb না Auxiliary?
Has, have, had যখন মালিকানা বোঝায় তখন সেগুলো মূল Verb, তাই Tag-এ do/does/did বসে। আর Perfect Tense-এ থাকলে সেগুলো Auxiliary, তাই একই Verb Tag-এ বসে।
He has a car, doesn't he? (has = আছে, মূল Verb)
He has done the work, hasn't he? (has = Auxiliary, Present Perfect)
He had a lot of money, didn't he? (had = ছিল, মূল Verb)
He had finished it, hadn't he? (had = Auxiliary, Past Perfect)
১০. বোর্ডে আসা ব্যতিক্রমী বাক্য (মুখস্থ রাখো)
বোর্ড পরীক্ষায় মাঝে মাঝে এমন কিছু বাক্য আসে যেগুলো নিয়ম দিয়ে নয়, প্রচলিত উত্তর দিয়ে করতে হয়।
Good morning, isn't it?
Thank you, don't you?
What a pity, isn't it?
Who cares, do they?
Time and tide wait for none, do they? (none থাকায় Statement negative → Tag positive)
The mother rose in her, didn't she? (rose = rise-এর Past form)
Slow and steady wins the race, doesn't it? (প্রবাদ বাক্যের Subject → it)

SSC / HSC বোর্ড প্রশ্নে Tag Question
SSC Tag Question Board Question আর HSC Tag Question Board Question-এর ধরন প্রায় একই। Grammar অংশে ৫টি বাক্য দেওয়া থাকে, প্রতিটির জন্য ১ নম্বর করে মোট ৫ নম্বর। বোর্ড প্রশ্নে বারবার যেসব ধরনের বাক্য আসে:
Imperative Sentence (Open the door, ___?)
Let's দিয়ে শুরু (Let's go, ___?)
Never / Hardly / Seldom যুক্ত বাক্য
Everybody / Nobody / Nothing যুক্ত বাক্য
There দিয়ে শুরু হওয়া বাক্য
Has / Have মূল Verb হিসেবে থাকা বাক্য
I am / Good morning / Thank you-এর মতো ব্যতিক্রমী বাক্য
পরীক্ষার হলে সময় বাঁচাতে প্রথমে Statement positive না negative দেখো, তারপর Auxiliary বাছো, তারপর Pronoun। এই ৩ ধাপের বাইরে কিছু ভাবতে হবে না। আর উত্তর লেখার সময় পুরো বাক্যসহ Tag লিখো, শুধু Tag লিখলে নম্বর কাটা যেতে পারে।
Tag Question মনে রাখার সহজ কৌশল
Polarity উল্টো: Positive → Negative, Negative → Positive।
Auxiliary একই: বাক্যে যা আছে তাই, না থাকলে do/does/did।
Pronoun বদল: নাম → he/she/it/they; everybody/nobody → they; nothing/everything → it; there → there।
৪টি মুখস্থ ব্যতিক্রম: I am → aren't I; Let's → shall we; Don't → will you; Imperative → will you।
৪টি negative শব্দ: never, hardly, seldom, rarely থাকলে Tag positive।
PDF খুঁজতে হবে না: এই পোস্টের নিয়ম, টেবিল আর উদাহরণগুলো খাতায় তুলে নিলেই Tag Question Rules-এর সম্পূর্ণ শিট তৈরি হয়ে যাবে।
