Bihar Board Class 10 English Grammar Active and Passive Voice

Active, Passive Voice & Quasi Passive
निम्नलिखित वाक्यों को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़िए और इसपर विचार कीजिए कि list A और list B के वाक्यों में क्या अंतर है, विशेषकर उनके verbs के अर्थ और रूप में
A – B
I teach English Grammar. – English Grammar is taught by me.
He reads a book. – A book is read by him.
We hear songs. – Songs are heard by us.

List A के वाक्यों में transitive verbs-teach, reads, hear से बोध होता है कि उनके कर्ता कुछ करते हैं। I teach; He reads; We hear-इनमें कर्ता की प्रधानता है। क्रिया के person और number भी subject के अनुसार है। लेकिन list B के verbs, is taught, is read, are heard से पता चलता है कि उनके कर्ता कुछ करते नहीं हैं, कर्ता को ही कुछ होता है। इन वाक्यों में वस्तुत कीता है। यहाँ तक कि verb के number और person भी listA के वाक्या क objects के अनुसार हैं।

इस तरह, इन वाक्यों के विवेचन से पता चलता है कि एक ही transitive verb का दो प्रकार से इस तरह व्यवहार किया जाता है कि एक से subject की प्रधानता झलकती है और दूसरे से object की। Transitive verb के इसी रूप-परिवर्तन को अंगरेजी में Voice द्वारा व्यक्त करते हैं।

वास्तव में, Voice क्रिया का एक प्रकार का रूप है, जिससे हमें यह मालूम होता है कि वाक्य में subject कुछ कर रहा है या subject पर ही किसी के द्वारा कुछ किया जा रहा है।

जिस वाक्य में subject की प्रधानता हो और जिसका finite verb subject के number और person के अनुसार हो, उसे Sentence in Active Voice कहते हैं। और जिस वाक्य में object को प्रधानता देकर finite verb को object के number और person के अनुसार ही रखना पड़ता है, उसे Sentence in Passive Voice कहते हैं।

Note-वस्तुतः, voice तो verbs का ही होता है और वह भी transitive verbs का; लेकिन verbs के voice परिवर्तन के कारण समूचे वाक्य का भी ऐसा रूपान्तर हो जाता है कि हम कह सकते हैं कि वाक्य active voice में है या passive voice में

Some special verbs – Active in form but Passive in sense
बहुत-से verbs ऐसे हैं जिनका रूप active की तरह मालूम होता है, लेकिन अर्थ passive की तरह होता है। इन्हें Quasi-Passive Verbs कहते हैं। जैस-

The table feels hard (= is hard when it is felt) – टेबुल कड़ा मालूम पड़ता है (जब उसका स्पर्श किया जाता है)।
Sugar tastes sweet (= is sweet when tasted) – चीनी मीठी लगती है (जब किसी के द्वारा चखी जाती है)।
Rolse smells good (= is good when smelt) – गुलाब अच्छा महकता है (जब सूंघा जाता है)।
Your poem reads well (=sounds well when it is read) – आपकी कविता अच्छी लगती है (जब पढ़ी जाती है)।
This book sells well (is purchased by many) – यह किताब अच्छी तरह बिकती है (जब बेची जाती है तब अधिकांश लोग खरीदते हैं)।

ऊपर के सभी वाक्यों में transitive verbs अपने complement के साथ हैं। अब कुछ ऐसे transitive verbs का अध्ययन कीजिए जिनका न कोई complement है और न कोई object ही स्पष्ट रहता है, फिर भी ऐसे verbs रूप में active लेकिन अर्थ में passive होते हैं; जैसे-

A place is building (एक महल बनाया जा रहा है)
The drum is beating (ढोल बजाया जा रहा हैं)
The guns are firing (बन्दूकें चलाई जा रही हैं)
This book is printing (यह किताब छप रही है, या छापी जा रही है)
The cow is milking (गाय दूही जा रही है)

How to change Active Voice into Passive Voice
Verb को active voice से passive voice में बदलते समय पूरे वाक्य का रूपान्तर करना पड़ता है। Active voice में जो noun या pronoun nominative case में रहता है, उसको objective case में बदलकर उसके पहले ‘by’ जोड़कर उसे object की जगह पर ले आते हैं। और, जो noun या pronoun active voice में objective case में रहता है, उसके nominative case में ला subject की जगह पर रख देते हैं और तब इस नए subject के number और person तथा tense के अनुकूल verb ‘to be’ का उपयुक्त रूप जोड़कर verb के past participle का प्रयोग करते हैं।
Verb ‘to be’ के उपयुक्त रूप ये हैं-
Present Tense में is या am या are.
Past Tense में was या were.
Past Participle में been.
निम्नांकित तालिका का अध्ययन करें-
Bihar Board Class 9 English Grammar Active and Passive Voice 1

How to change Active Voice with two objects into Passive Voice
साधारण नियम तो यह है कि अगर active voice में किसी verb के दो object रहें, तो एक को subject बना दिया जाए और दूसरे को retained object [देखें Chapter 4 के अन्तर्गत Five kinds of object] बनाकर object ही रखा जाए। जैसे-
He gave me a pen.
(i) I was given a pen by him.
or (ii) A pen was given to me by him.
Active voice के verb ‘gave’ के यहाँ दो objects हैं- me (indirect object), pen (direct object). वाक्य (i) में ‘me’ को I में बदलकर pen को ज्यों-का-त्यों retained object बनाकर रखा गया। वाक्य (ii) में pen को ही subject बनाकर ‘me’ को retained object बनाकर रखा गया। व्याकरण की दृष्टि से ये दोनों वाक्य शुद्ध हैं और विद्यार्थी दोनों का व्यवहार कर सकते हैं। लेकिन आधुनिक usage के अनुसार वाक्य (i) ही अधिक उपयुक्त है। Allen का कहना है: ‘Active voice में यदि transitive verb के दो objects हैं, तो passive voice में personal object को ही subject बनाना चाहिए।’

Verbs which cannot be used in Passive Voice.
पहले कहा जा चुका है कि verb को active voice से passive voice में बदलने के लिए subject को object और object को subject बनाना पड़ता है। इससे यह स्पष्ट है कि
(a) जिस verb का object नहीं होता, उसको passive voive में नहीं बदला जा सकता है। चूंकि intransitive verb (अकर्मक क्रिया) का कोई object नहीं होता, इसलिए intransitive verb का passive voice नहीं हो सकता। यह साधारण नियम है, लेकिन कुछ अवस्थाओं में intransitive verb का भी passive voice होता है। जैसे-

(i) अगर intransitive verb के बाद preposition आने से वह transitive verb बन जाए और उसका कोई object रहे, तो उस verb का passive voice हो सकता है। जैसे-
He laughed at the dwarf. – The dwarf was laughed at by him.
They spoke to the man. – The man was spoken to by them.
इन वाक्यों में preposition को verb का ही अंश माना जाएगा और passive voice में भी वह verb के बाद अवश्य आएगा।

(ii) अगर किसी intransitive verb का cognate object रहे, तो उसका passive voice हो सकता है। जैसे-
We ran a race. – A race was run by us.
He dreamt a sweet dream. – A sweet dream was dreamt by him.

(iii) अगर किसी intransitive verb का causative verb की तरह व्यवहार हुआ हो, तो उसका passive voice हो सकता है, जैसे-
They grow rice. – Rice is grown by them.
We feed the poor. – The poor are fed by us.
The labourers felled a tee. – A tree was felled by the labourer
(b) Perfect continuous tense – present perfect continuous past perfect continuous, future perfect continuous के verb का Passive voice नहीं होता।
(c) Quasi-passive verbs का साधारणतः passive voice नहीं होता, क्योंकि उनका अर्थ तो passive होता ही है। इसलिए इन वाक्यों के verbs का passive नहीं होगा-
The poem reads well.
The honey tastes sweet.

Passive Voice में object के पूर्व ‘by’ के स्थान पर अन्य शब्द
ऊपर कहा जा चुका है कि passive voice में बदले जाने पर active voice का subject objective case में बदलकर object की जगह पर आता है
और उसके पहले preposition by का प्रयोग होता है। लेकिन इसके कुछ अपवाद ‘भी हैं:
(i) कुछ passive verbs के बाद by के बदले किसी दूसरे preposition का (जो उस. verb के उपयुक्त हो) व्यवहार किया जाता है। जैसे-
Active – Passive
Ram knows me. – I am known to Ram.
His behaviour surprised me. – I was surprised at his behaviour.
Your attitude displeased them. – They were displaced with your attitude.
My son annoyed me. – I was annoyed with my son.
इसी तरह, astonished, pleased, disgusted इत्यादि verbs के बाद by नहीं प्रयुक्त होता। किसी दूसरे उपयुक्त Preposition का व्यवहार किया जाता है।
(ii) बहुत-से वाक्यों में जहाँ active voice का subject अनिर्दिष्ट है, जैसे- they, nobody, no one इत्यादि, वहाँ passive voice बनाने में विद्यार्थियों की कठिनाई होती है। उनकी सुविधा के लिए यहाँ कुछ उदाहरण दिए जा रहे हैं-
Active – Passive
People in East Bengal speak Bengali. – Bengali is spoken by the people in East Bengal.
They say that health is wealth. – It is said that health is wealth.
No one can do this work. – This work cannot be done by anyone.
Nobody reads this book. – This book is not read by anyone.

More About Voice
Interchange of Active Voice and Passive Voice
Voice के प्रसंग में आपको active voice से passive voice में बदलने के कुछ प्रमुख नियमों से अवगत कराया गया है। यहाँ हम interrogative, imperative, complex, compound sentences इत्यादि को active से passive voice में बदलने के तरीके पर विचार करें।

Infinitive वाले वाक्य का Passive Voice
अगर वाक्य में finite verb, intransitive रहे और उसके बाद infinitive का प्रयोग हो तो infinitive को उसके past participle रूप में कर देने से वाक्य passive voice में. हो जाएगा। जैसे-
Active – Passive
I expect to win him over. – I expect him to be won over.
He tried hard to obtain some help. – He tried hard for some help to be obtained.
He likes his subordinates to flatter him. – He likes to be flattered by his subordinates.
It is time to open the shop. – It is time for the shop to be opened.
There is nothing to do. – There is nothing to be done.
I have nothing to hope for. – There is nothing to be hoped for.

Imperative Verb on Passive Voice
Imperative a transitive verbs a passive voice बनाने में इस वाक्य को let से प्रारम्भ करते हैं (भले ही वाक्य में पहले से let नहीं रहे) और तब verb के बदले उसके passive infinitive, without to का प्रयोग करते हैं।
Active – Passive
(You) Fetch a glass of water. – Let a glass of water be fetched (by you).
(You) Take him home. – Let him be taken home (by your).
(You) Hear him. – Let him be heard (by you).
Note – विद्यार्थियों को उचित है कि बायीं ओर के वाक्य में subject you जो लुप्त है, उसे लिखकर, voice का परिवर्तन करें। जैसे-
Read this book = (You) read this book.
और यह passive voice में हो जाएगा-
Let this book be read by you.

Interrogative sentence के transitive verb का passive voice में परिवर्तन
1. अगर interrogative sentence, auxiliary verb से शुरू हो-
विद्यार्थी अगर गलती से बचना चाहते हों तो उनहें चाहिए कि voice परिवर्तन के पहले ऐसे वाक्य को assertive sentence में बदल लें। फिर, ऊपर दिए गए साधारण नियमों के अनुसार वाक्य का voice बदल दें। और, voice परिवर्तन के बाद sentence को पुन: interrogative sentence के रूप में लिख लें; जैसे-
Did you read this book? इस बाक्य में verb ‘read’ active voice में है। हम इसको passive voice में बदलने के पहले-
(i) इसको assertive sentence के रूप में लिखें – You read this book.
(ii) यह passive voice में हो जाएगा – This book was read by you.
(iii) अब इसको interrogative sentence के रूप में लिखें – Was this book read by you?
कुछ अन्य उदाहरणों का अध्ययन करें-
Active – Passive
(a) Did he kill the dog?
Steps:
Assertive – He killed the dog.
Assertive-Passive – The dog was killed by him.
Interrogative-Passive – Was the dog killed by him?

(b) Did you like dinner?
Steps:
Assertive – You liked the dinner.
Assertive-Passive – The dinner was liked by you.
Interrogative-Passive – Was the dinner liked by you?
(2) अगर transitive verb वाला interrogative sentence ‘who’ से प्रारम्भ हो तो passive voice में बदलने के लिए ‘who’ को active voice का subject मानकर साधारण नियमों के अनुसार वाक्य को passive में बदल देंगे, जैसे-
Active – Passive
Who did this? – By whom was this dotted?
Who killed the dog? – By whom was the dog killed?
Who reads this book? – By whom is this book read?
Note – Who का objective case ‘whom’ होता है-
तो इस question word को पहले वाक्य से निकालकर ऊपर (1) में दिए गए तरीके से passive voice बना लें और तब question word का पुनः passive voice के वाक्य के शुरू में जोड़ दें; जैसे-

Why did you read this book?
When did he kill the dog?
How did they admit all students?
How did you like dinner?

इन वाक्यों से अगर why, when, how को हटा लें तो इनका सही रूप रहता है जो (1) में दिए गए वाक्यों का है, तो हम (1) में बताए गए नियम के अनुसार इनका passive में रूपान्तर कर लेंगे और तब क्रमश: why, when, how को वाक्य के आरम्भ में जोड़कर लिखेंगे

Why was this book read by you?
When was the dog killed by him?
How were all students admitted by them?
How was the dinner liked by you?

Change of transitive verb in complex and compound sentences from the active voice to the passive voice
अगर किसी वाक्य में एक से अधिक finite verb रहें और वे सभी transitive हों तो एक को Passive voice में बदलने पर दूसरे को भी passive voice में बदलना पड़ेगा। जैसे, हम इन वाक्यों को लें
Active – Passive
(i) He told me that he had read the book. – I was told by him that the book had been read by him.
(ii) He wrote this book and gave it to Bharati Bhawan for publication. – This book was written by him and it was) given
(by him) to Anjana (P&D) for publication.
(iii) She wrote the letter but tore it to pieces. – The letter was written by her but (it was) torn (by her) to pieces.

ऊपर दिए गए वाक्यों में हम देखते हैं कि प्रत्येक में दो-दो clauses हैं।
(i) He told me + that he had read the book.
(ii) He wrote this book + and + (he) have it to Anjana (P&D) for publication.
(iii) She wrote the letter + and + (she) tore it to pieces.
इन वाक्यों को passive रूप में लाने के लिए हम दोनों clauses को अलग-अलग passive रूप में ले आते हैं, और तब उनको जोड़ दते हैं।
Note – अगर एक ही clause में एक finite verb रहे और उसके साथ infinitive verb रहे तो हम दोनों को passive voice में नहीं बदल सकते, क्योंकि double passive का व्यवहार नहीं हो सकता।

Passive Voice से Active Voice बनाने का नियम
(i) अगर दिए हुए वाक्यों में कुछ शब्द लुप्त हों तो उनको कोष्ठ (brackets) में लिखकर वाक्यों को पूरा कर लीजिए। अकसर passive voice में by + object लुप्त रहता है। ऐसी हालत में अपनी ओर से by + उपयुक्त object जोड़कर वाक्य को पूरा कर लीजिए। जैसे-
The thief was arrested. = The thief was arrested (by the police).
My watch was stolen. = My watch was stolen (by someone).
It is said that he is poor. = It is said (by them or by people) that he is poor.
The letter was written by her and torn to bits. = The letter was written by her and it was) torn to bits (by her).

(ii) इसके बाद passive voice के वाक्य में से object को निकालकर nominative case में ले आइए और active voice के वाक्य का उसे subject बना लीजिए।

(iii) Passive voice के subject को objective case में ले आइए और उसे active voice के वाक्य में object की जगह पर लिखिए।

(iv) Verb ‘to be’ को हटाकर, verb के past participle रूप को नए subject of 3 CHR FC FCI

(v) Passive voice के object के पहले ‘by’, ‘to’ य अन्य कोई preposition रहे तो उसे हटा दीजिए; जैसे-

Passive Voice – Active Voice
He was sentenced to death (by the judge). – The Judge sentenced him to death.
He is not known to me. – I do not know him.
Trespassers will be prosecuted (by the Government). – The Government will prosecute the trespassers.
Let the tea be brought. – Bring tea.

Have the trees been cut (by somebody)? – Has somebody cut the trees?
Let it be tried by all of us. – Let all of us try it.
Let silence be observed. – Observe silence.
What cannot be cured (by us) must be endured (by us). – We must endure what we cannot cure.
The field has been overgrown with grass. – Grass has grown over the field.
English is spoken all over the world (by people). – People speak English all over the world.
The injured are being treated (by the doctors). – The doctors are treating the injured.
The house was burnt to ashes (by the fire). – The fire burnt the house to ashes.
Cricket is not liked by me but football is (liked by me). – I do not like cricket, but I like football.
Reference books must not be taken away (by readers). – Readers must not take away reference books.
It cannot be done (by anyone). – No one can do it.

नोट-उपर्युक्त passive voice के वाक्यों में कोष्ठ के अन्दर जो शब्द दिए गए हैं वे प्रश्न में प्रायः लुप्त रहते हैं। यहाँ विद्यार्थियों के समझने के लिए केवल संकेत हैं।

Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Reported Speech

Direct and Indirect Speech

Narration का अर्थ है कथन । इसे अंग्रेजी में इस प्रकार कह सकते हैं –
Narration means to narrate something said by someone.

अर्थात् किसी की कही गई बातों का वर्णन करना ही Narration कहलाता है।

अंग्रेजी में किसी के कथन को व्यक्त करने के दो तरीके हैं –

वक्ता के कथन को हू-ब-हू उसी रूप में व्यक्त करना
वक्ता के कथन को अपने शब्दों में व्यक्त करना ।

जब हम वक्ता के कथन को उसी के शब्दों में व्यक्त करते हैं तो Direct Narration या Speech कहते हैं। जब हम उसे अपने शब्दों में न व्यक्त करते हैं तो उसे Indirect Narration कहते हैं।

इन वाक्यों को पढ़े और देखें कि इनमें क्या अन्तर है –
Ramesh said, “I am going home.”… (Direct speech)
Ramesh said that he was going home. (Indirect speech)

यहाँ पहले वाक्य में Inverted Commas (“”) के भीतर वक्ता के कथन को ज्यों-का-त्यों उसी के शब्दों में रखा गया है। इसलिए यह Direct Narration में है। दूसरे वाक्य में वक्ता के कथन को उसके शब्दों में नहीं व्यक्त कर हमने अपने शब्दों में व्यक्त किया है, अतः यह Indirect Narration में है।

Direct Narration वाले वाक्य के दो हिस्से होते हैं। जो भाग Inverted commas के भीतर होता है उसे Reported speech तथा जो भाग बाहर होता है उसे Reporting verb कहा जाता है। लेकिन, Inverted commas के बाहर का सब हिस्सा verb नहीं है सिर्फ said ही . verb है।

Direct Speech से Indirect Speech में बदलने के नियम –

Rule (i) यदि Reporting verb Present या Future tense में हो तो Reported speech के tense में कोई परिवर्तन नहीं होता है; जैसे –

(a) He says, ” I want to play in the morning.”
He says that he wants to play in the morning.

(b) He will say, “I am listening to radio.”
He will say that he is listening to radio.

Rule (ii) यदि Reporting verb Past tense में है और Reported speech का Present या Future tense उसी form में Past tense में बदल जाता है ; जैसे –

(a) He said to me, “I am going home.”
He told me that he was going home.

(b) He said to me, “I shall help you”.
He told me that he would help me.

(d) He said, “I have been talking for two hours”.
He said that he had been talking for two hours.

(e) I said to him, “I am glad to see you here”.
I told him that I was glad to see him there.”

Rule (iii) यदि Reporting verb Past tense में हो और Reported speech में कोई Universal truth (शश्वत सत्य) हो तो Indirect Narration में उसका tense नहीं बदलता जैसे –

(a) He said, “The earth is round.”
He said that the earth is round.

(b) He said, “Man is mortal.”
He said that man is mortal.

ऊपर के दोनों वाक्यों में हम देखते हैं कि Indirect Narration में बदलने के बाद भी tense में कोई परिवर्तन नहीं हुआ।

Rule (iv) यदि Reporting verb Past tense में हो तथा Reported speech भी Past tense में हो तो Reported speech का Past indefinite Past perfect में बदल जाता है। Past continuous, Past perfect continuous में बदल जाता है । अर्थात् पहला form तीसरे form में चला जाता है और दूसरा form चौथे form में Past perfect और Past perfect continuous में कोई परिवर्तन नहीं होता; जैसे –

He said, “I went home yesterday.”
He said that he had gone home the previous day.
He said, “I saw him going to cinema yesterday.”
He said that he had seen him going to cinema the previous day.
He said to me, “I was playing cricket in the morning.”
He told me that he had been playing cricket in the morning.
I said to him, “I was listening to radio.”
I told him that I had been listening to radio.

Past perfect और Past perfect continuous Reported speech में रहने पर कोई परिवर्तन tense में नहीं होता है; जैसे –

He said, “I had met him long ago.”
He said that he had met him long ago.
He said, “I had been living in Patna for four years.”
He said that he had been living in Patna for four years.

जब Reporting verb Past tense में रहता है तब Reported speech में केवल verb का tense ही नहीं बदलता वरन् Reported speech में जिगने भी निकटतासूचक Verbs, Adjectives और Adverbs रहते हैं, उन्हें दूरीसूचक शब्दों में बदल दिया जाता है; जैसे –
Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Reported Speech 1

Examples:
He said, “I will go tomorrow.”
He said that he vould go next day.
He said, “I have been living here since last night.”
He said that he had been living there since the previous night.

Special Rules

Special Rules : भिन्न-भिन्न प्रकार के वाक्यों के लिए भिन्न-भिन्न हैं।

Sentence कई तरह के होते हैं, जैसे-Assertive, Interrogative, Imperative, Optative और Exclamatory हैं Interrogative sentence को Indirect speech में नेम्नलिखित ढंग से बदला जाएगा :

Interrogative sentence में दो तरह से प्रश्न किए जाते हैं। कुछ प्रश्नों के आरम्भ में Auxiliary verbs रहते हैं और कुछ प्रश्नों में Question words रहते हैं।

1. सबसे पहले Auxiliary verbs.से आरम्भ होनेवाले प्रश्नवाचक वाक्यों को Indirect speech में बदलने के नियम –

Auxiliaries से शुरू होनेवाले Questions को Direct से Indirect speech में बदलते समय General rules के अनुसार Verb का tense तथा Pronoun का person आदि बदलने के बाद कछ और नियमों का पालन किया जाता है।
(i) Said को asked में बदल जाता है।
(ii)Reported speech को that से शुरू नहीं किया जाता है, बल्कि if या whether से शुरू किया जताा है।
(iii) If या whether के बाद subject और तब verb रखा जाता है अर्थात् Indirect Narration में Interrogative वाक्य Assertive हो जाता है।
(iv) प्रश्नवाचक चिह्न (Mark of Interrogation) को हटा दिया जाता है और प्रश्न के चिह्न की जगह Full stop दिया जाता है; जैसे –

He said to me, “Are you going away today?”
He asked me if I was going away that day.
He said to me, “Can you do the work ?”
He asked me if I could do the work.
He said to his friend, “Are you well today?”
He asked his friend if he was well that day.

Interrogrative sentences beginning with question words in reported speech –

कुछ Questions who, which, why, how, where, what से शुरू होते हैं ऐसे वाक्यों को Indirect speech में बदलने में if या whether नहीं लगता परन्तु said को asked में बदलना पड़ता है एक Conjunction की जगह उसी प्रश्न सूचक शब्द का प्रयोग होता है; जैसे –

He said, to me, “What are you doing?
He asked me what I was doing.
He said to his friend, “Where are you going ?”
He asked his friend where he was going.

ऊपर के वाक्यों को ध्यानपूर्वक देखने से यह स्पष्ट हो जाता है कि इन वाक्यों में Inverted Commas का लोप तो हो गया है लेकिन That का प्रयोग नहीं किया गया है । Said को asked में बदल दिया गया है। यदि say रहे तो Present tense में ask या asks में बदल देते हैं।

2. Imperative Sentence को IndirectNarration में बदलने के नियम Imperative sentence से आदेश, प्रार्थना, विनती, सुझाव, सलाह, मनाही का भाव व्यक्त होता है।

Imperative sentence में व्यक्त भाव के अनुसार Reporting verb को order, request, ask, advise, forbid (मना करना) इत्यादि में बदल देते हैं।

Imperative verb को Infinitive verb में बदल देते हैं अर्थात् verb के Present form के पहले to लगा देते हैं। इसलिए इसमें that का प्रयोग नहीं होता है; जैसे –

He said to his servant, “Go away at once.”
He ordered his servant to go away at once.
He said to his friend, “Please lend me your pen.”
He requested his friend to lend him his pen.
The doctor said to the patient. “Take exercise daily.”
The doctor advised the patient to take exercise daily.
The father said to his son. “Do not live in bad compnay.”
The father forbade his son to live in bad company.
The teacher said to the boys. “Keep quiet.”
The teacher asked the boys to keep quiet.

3.Optative sentence को Indirect Narration में बदलने के नियम –

Optative sentence इच्छासूचक वाक्य May से शुरू होते हैं । इनसे कोई इच्छा (wish), आशीर्वाद (blessing), अभिशाप (curse), प्रार्थना (prayer) का भाव व्यक्त होता है। ऐसे वाक्यों में Reported speech में व्यक्त भाव के अनुसार Reporting verb को wish, curse, bless, pray इत्यादि में निम्नांकित तरीके से बदला जाता है। इसमें that का प्रयोग होता है; जैसे –

He said to me, “May you be happy !”
He wished that I might be happy.
He said to me, “May God bless you !”
He prayed that God might bless me.
He said to me, “May you live long !”
He wished that I might live long,
He said to him, “May you go to hell !”
He cursed him that he might go to hell.

4. Exclamatory Sentence को Indirect.Narration के बदलने के नियम –

Exclamatory sentence में किसी प्रबल आवेग (strong emotion) को अभिव्यक्ति होती है। यह आवेग हर्ष (joy), विषाद (sorrow), आश्चर्य (surprise), तिरस्कार (contempt), घृणा (hatred), प्रशंसा (applause) आदि का हो सकता है। ऐसे वाक्यों को Indirect speech में निम्नांकित ढंग से बदला जाता है –

(i) Said को Exclaimed में बदल देते हैं। Exclamatory sentence में व्यक्त भाव के अनुसार Exclaimed with joy, with sorrow, with wonder इत्यादि का प्रयोग करते हैं।
(ii) इसमें that का प्रयोग होता है
(iii) Exclamatory words जैसे – Ah, Hurrah, Alas, Fie को हटा देते हैं ।
(iv) Exclamation का चिह्न भी हटा देते है और Exclamatory sentence Assertive में बदल जाता है जैसे –

He said, “Hurrah ! we are going home.”
He exclaimed with joy that they were going home.
She said, “Alas ! I am ruined.”
She exclaimed with sorrow that she was ruined.
The teacher said to the boys, “Well done !”
The teacher exclaimed with 2dmiration that the boys had done well.
He said, “What a beautiful flower it is !”
He exclaimed with wonder that it was a very beautiful flower.

Good morning! Good evening ! Good bye ! Good night ! रहने पर said को bade में बदल देते हैं; जैसे –

He said to me, “Good morning !”
He bade me good morning.
He said, “Good bye my friends !”
He bade good bye to his friends.
He said to me, “Good night !”
He bade me good night.

Indirect speech में कभी Thank you! रहता है। ऐसी स्थिति में thank को Past tense में बदल देते हैं जैसे –

I said, “Thank you !”
I thanked him.

Sentences beginning with Let

Let से आरम्भ होनेवाले sentences से दो तरह के भाव व्यक्त होते हैं-प्रस्ताव का भाव और अनुमति का भाव । कहीं-कहीं इससे Command का भाव भी व्यक्त होता है।

जहाँ प्रस्ताव का भाव व्यक्त रहता है वहाँ said को proposed में बदल देते हैं और जहाँ अनुमति का भाव व्यक्त रहता है वहाँ said को requested में बदल देते हैं; यदि इससे command का भाव व्यक्त होता हो तो said को ordered में बदल देते हैं।

कुछ उदाहरणों को देखें –

Direct-He said to his friends. “Let us go home.”
Indirect—He proposed to his friends that they should go home. यहाँ प्रस्ताव है।
Direct-He said to the teacher, “Let me go home.”
Indirect-He requested the teacher to allow him to go home. इसमें अनुमति मांगी गई है।

नीचे command का भाव व्यक्त करनेवाले एक उदाहरण को देखें –
Direct-He said to his servant, “Let the boy go home.”
Indirect – He ordered his servant to let the boy go home.
कहीं-कहीं इससे Speaker की इच्छा का भी बोध होता है; जैसे –
Direct – He said, “Let her rest in peace.”
Indirect -He wished that she should rest in peace.
Direct – He said to me, “Let me help you.”
Indirect – He wished that he should help me.

Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Combination of Sentences

(Conversion of Sentences)

एक Sentence (वाक्य) या Clause को तथा दूसरे sentence या clause को दूसरे वाक्य में बदलने की क्रिया को conversion of sentence कहते हैं।

Sentence और Clause में अन्तर

Sentence : A sentence is a group of words put together according to the rules of Grammar. A sentence has a subject and a finite verb.

शब्दों के किसी ऐसे समूह को वाक्य कहा जाता है जो अर्थ को पूर्ण रूप से स्पष्ट करता हो। वाक्य में एक कर्ता और एक क्रिया अवश्य रहती है।

जैसे – He went home yesterday.

Clause : A Clause is part of a sentence. एस शब्द समूह को clause (उपवाक्य __ या पद्) कहा जाता है जो किसी पूर्ण वाक्य का अंश हो तथा जिसका अपना अलग subject और predicate हो । जैसे – He is the man who is honest.

इसमें वाक्य (Sentence) में He is the man. एक clause हुआ और who is honest भी एक clause हुआ। दोनों clause मिलने पर एक वाक्य बना।

Kinds of Sentence –

Sentence के मुख्यतः चार भाग होते हैं –
(1) Simple Sentence
(2) Compound Sentence
(3) Complex Sentence
(4) Mixed Sentence

(1) Simple Sentence: जिस वाक्य का केवल एक ही Clause हो उसे Simple Sentence कहा जाता है, जैसे –
1. The boy broke his leg.
2. She washed her clothes.

(2) Compound Sentence: जिस वाक्य में दो या दो से अंधिक अनाश्रित उपवाक्य (Clauses) हों, उसे Compound Sentence कहा जाता है, उदाहरण के रूप में –
1. Sita saw Ram and she became happy.
2. You must work hard or you will fail.
3. Many were called, but few were chosen.
Compound Sentence के प्रत्येक Clause को Co-ordinate clause कहा जाता है।

(3) Complex Sentence (मिश्रित वाक्य): जिस वाक्य में एक मुख्य-वाक्य (Principal Clause) हो तथा एक या एक से अधिक आश्रित वाक्य (Subordinate Clauses) हों,

उसे Complex Sentence कहा जाता है। Principal Clause को Mair Clause भी कहा जाता है।

Sub-ordinate Clause को Dependent Clause भी कहा जाता है।

जैसे-The company that supplied goods has failed. यह complex sentence है ।

(4) Mixed Sentence: Mixed Sentence में कम-से-कम दो Principal Clause रहते हैं और कम-से-कम एक Subordinate Clause. इन नियमों का सदा ध्यान रखें –

Simple Sentence – One Principal Clause.
Compound Sentence – At least two Principal Clause.
Complex Sentence – Principal Clause + Subordinate Clauses.
Mixec Sentence – Compound + Subordinate Clause.

तो, इससे यह स्पष्ट है कि Simple Sentence को एक Mixed Sentence बनाने के लिए __ आपको उन्हीं नियमों की सहायता लेनी पड़ेगी जो Compound और Complex Sentence के सम्बन्धों में बताये गये हैं। आप Co-ordinating और Subordinating Conjunctions के द्वारा यह काम आसानी से कर सकते हैं, जिसकी चर्चा पहले ही हो गयी है।

Exercise

Combine each set of Simple Sentence into a Compound Sentence :

He is rich. He leads an unhappy life.
The train is about to leave. We should get into the train.
He works in a college. He manages his farm.
My marriage will take place in April. If it does not, it will take place in October.
You must help him in his studies. If you don’t, he will fail.
Kapil Dev is a good bowler. Kapil Dev is a good batsman.
I will not go to Srinagar. I will not go to Bangalore.
The day dawned. The birds began to chirp.
Keep quiet. I shall turn you out of the room.
We do not borrow money. We do not lend money.

Answers:

He is rich but he leads an unhappy life.
The train is about to leave, therefore, we should get into it.
He both works in a college and manages his farm.
Or,
He not only works in a college but also manages his farm.
My marriage will take place either in April or in October.
You must help him in his studies, or otherwise) he will fail.
Kapil Dev is both a good bowler and a good batsman.
Or,
Kapil Dev is not only a good bowler but also a good batsman.
I will go neither too Srinagar nor to Bangalore.
The day dawned and the birds began to chirp.
Keep quiet, (or, otherwise) I shall turn you out of the room.
We neither borrow nor lend money.

Simple Sentences into a Complex Senence

आप जानते हैं कि Complex Sentence में केवल एक ही Principal Clause होता है __ और उसमें कम-से-कम एक Subordinate Clause भी रहता है। इसलिए Simple Sentence को जोड़कर उन्हें एक Complex Sentence बनाते समय उसमें एक ही Principal Clause रखें और अन्य वाक्यों को Subordinate Clause का रूप दे दें।

Subordinate Clause तीन प्रकार के होते हैं –

Noun Clause
Adjective Clause
Adverb Clause

ये तीनों प्रकार के Subordinate Clauses Relative Pronouns/Relative Adverbs/Subordinating Conjunctions से आरम्भ होते हैं जिनमें से मुख्य हैं –

that, who, which, what, because, since, so that, in order, that, as, as if, as soon as, though, before, after, if, when, where, till, until.

किस Subordinating Conjunction का प्रयोग कहाँ और कब होता है या (दूसरे शब्दों में) कब और कहाँ Noun Clause या Adjective Clause या AdverbClause का प्रयोग करके वाक्यों को Complex Sentence बनाया जाता है, यह वाक्यों के अर्थ पर ही निर्भर करता है। यह काम इन नियमों की सहायता से आसानी से कर ले सकते हैं –

How to Use Adverb Clause

Rule I. यदि वाक्यों से मालूम हो कि उनके बीच cause (कारण), condition (शर्त), – constrast (विरोध), compariso (तुलना), time (समय) या place (स्थान) का सम्बन्ध है, तो Adverb Clause के द्वारा वाक्यों को जोड़ना चाहिए इन्हें देखे –

1. He succeeded. He laboured hard.
Combined : He succeeded because he laboured hard.

2. He has been very unfortunate. He is always cheerful.
Combined : Though he has been very unfortunate, he is always cheerful.

3. He is a clever boy. No other boy in the class is more clever.
Combined : No other boy in the class is cleverer than he is.

4. You must sign your name. He will then agree to your terms.
Combined : He will agree to your terms, if you sign your name.

5. Men may sow much or little. They will reap accordingly.
Combined : Men will reap according as they sow much or little.

इन वाक्यों को Adverb Clauses के द्वारा जोड़कर Complex Sentence बनाये गये हैं। पहले दो वाक्यों में cause का सम्बन्ध है। इसलिए इन्हें because के द्वारा जोड़ा गया है। दूसरे दो वाक्यों के बीच contrast का सम्बन्ध है और तीसरे दो वाक्यों के बीच comparision का । अतः दूसरं दो वाक्यों को though के द्वारा और तीसरे दो वाक्यों को than के द्वारा जोड़ा गया है। चौथं दो वाक्यों से condition का बांध होता है। इसलिए इन्हें if के द्वारा जोड़ा गया है। . पाँचवें वाक्य सं manner बतलाया गया है। इसलिए इस according as के द्वारा जोड़ा गया है ।

Rule II. समय (time) का बोध करानेवाले वाक्यों को इनकी सहायता से जोड़ा जाता है-after, before, until.

इन वाक्यों को लें

1. He finished the work. Than he went out.
Answer:
He went out after he had finished the work

2. I wrote a letter. Then I read the newspaper.
Answer:
I read the newspaper after I had written a letter. Or, I had written a letter before I read the newspaper.

3. I finished the book. Then I went to bed.
Answer:
I went to bed after I had finished the book. Or, I had finished the book before I went to bed.

4. The bus stopped. Then I got off.
Answer:
I did not get off the bus until it stopped.

5. She finished the work. Then she went out.
Answer:
She did not go out until she finished the work.

इन नियमों का ध्यान रखें –

पहले समाप्त होनेवाले कार्य के साथ before का प्रयोग होता है, पर बाद में समाप्त होनेवाले कार्य के साथ after आता है।
Until से आरम्भ होनेवाले clause में not नहीं आता, पर Principal Clause में not का प्रयोग होता है।

How to Use Adjective Clause

1. Adjective Clause के द्वारा भी Simple Sentences को जोड़कर एक Complex Sentence बना जाता है। यदि वाक्य में किसी व्यक्ति या वस्तु की चर्चा हो जाए और अन्य वाक्यों में उसी के गुणों पर प्रकाश डाला जाय, तो Adjective Clause बनाने के लिए who, which, that, when या where का प्रयोग होता है; जैसे –

I suffered anxiety. The anxiety was extreme.
Combind : The anxiety that I suffered was extreme.

यहाँ पहले वाक्य में anxiety के विषय में बताया गया है और दूसरे में उसी पर और प्रकाश डाला गया है। इसलिए उन्हें Adjective Clause के द्वारा जोड़ा गया है। एक और उदाहरण लें –

A small house stood at the foot of the hill. We stayed there for the night.

Combined : We stayed for the night at a small house which stood at the foot of the hill.

यहाँ पहले वाक्य में house की चर्चा हुई है और दूसरे में उसी पर प्रकाश डाला गया है। (We stayed there for the night.)। इसलिए इन्हें भी Adjective Clause के द्वारा जोड़ा गया है।

इन वाक्यों को ध्यान से देखें –

1. He had received a good education. This raised him above many men.
Combined : The good education that he had received raised him above many men.

2. That is the house. He was born there.
Combined : That is the house where he was born.

3. This is the book. I wanted to buy it
This is the book that I wanted to buy.

4. Daniel came alive out of the den. In that den lion were kept.
Combined : Daniel came alive out of the den in which lions were kept.

Note : Who/Which/That के द्वारा जब Adjective Clause बनाया जाता है, तब इनका अर्थ हिन्दी में कोई भी ऐसे शब्द से होता है जो ‘ज’ से आरम्भ होता है; जैसे-‘जो’ ‘जिस’ आदि । विशेष जानकारी के लिए Analysis के अध्याय को देखें।

How to Use Noun Clause

Rule I. जब तक Simple Sentence के कथन (fact, opinion, belief, hope आदि) को दूसरे में स्वीकार (affirm) या अस्वीकार (deny) किया जाता है, तब ये that के द्वारा जोड़े जाते हैं। ऐसा that + clause होता है; Noun Clause और यह वाक्य हो जाता है Complex; जैसे –

(1) Better luck may be in store for us. We hope so.
Combined : We hope that better luck may be in store for us.

(2) He is honest. I know this.
Combined : I know that he is honest.

इन वाक्यों को ध्यान से देखें –

(1) He is honest. I do not doubt it.
Combined: I do not doubt that he is honest.

(2) He will come today. I am sure of it.
Combined: I am sure that he will come today.

(3) You have acted wrongly. I believe so.
Combined : I believe that you have acted wrongly.

(4) A lazy man injures no one but himself. This is not ture.
Combined : It is not true that a lazy man injures no one but himself.

(5) Someone has been making a great noise. I should like to know the person.

Combined : I should like to know who has been making a great noise.

Note :- ऐसे वाक्यों को जोड़ने पर it/this/that/so का लोप हो जाता है।

Rull II. Simple Sentence को इन शब्दों की सहायता से जोड़ा जाता है –

who, which, whom, whose, what, when, where, why, how, if, whether,

इन्हें जोड़ने पर who + clause/which +clause आदि Noun clasue होते हैं और पूरा वाक्य complex बन जाता है।

Assertive + Interrogative = Assertive + Assertive; जैसे –
1. I don’t know. Who is she? = I don’t know who she is.
2. I can’t say. Is he ill ? = I can’t say if/whether he is ill.

Imperative + Interrogative = Imperative + Assertive; जैसे –
1. Tell me, Where is he? = Tell me where he is.
2. Inform me. When will he come ? = Inform me when he will come.

Interorogative + Interrogative = Interrogative + Assertive;

1. Do you know? Why is she sad ?
= Do you know why she is sad ?

2. Can you tell me ? How have you come ?
= Can you tell me how you have come ?

Assertive + Exclamatory = Assertive + Assertive; जैसे –
1. How well he plays ! Nobody can believe.
= Nobody can believe how well he plays.

2. No one can imagine. What a great man he is!
= No one can imagine what a great man he is.

Assertive + Assertive = Assertive + Assertive; जैसे –

1. Somebody called me. I don’t know who.
= I don’t know who called me.

2. He will come. I can’t say when.
= I can’t say when he will come.

Rull III. जब एक Simple Sentence से प्रबल इच्छा का बोध होता है और दूसरे से इच्छापूर्ति का अभाव व्यक्त किया जाता है, तब इन्हें इस प्रकार जोड़ा जाता है –

Simple Sentence + [‘that’ understood] + Subject + Were + Other Words
Simple Sentence + [‘that’ understood) + Subject + Verb (Past Tense) + Other Words

Example

1. I wish to be a king. I am not a king.
Combined: I wish I were a king.

2. I wish to know him. I don’t know him.
Combined: I wish I knew him.

3. I wished to know him. I didn’t know him.
Combined : I wished I had known him.

Simple Sentence into Mixed Sentence

Mixed sentence में कम से कम दो Principle clause एवं एक या एक से अधिक sub-ordinate clauses होता है । जैसे –

We heard the sad news. We immediately started for the afficted house. There we found the mourners.

Combined : We heard the sad news and we immediately started for the afflicted house, where we found the mourners.- Mixed sentence.

needs = need’s = of need = of necessity = necessarily (adv.)

He must needs finish his work by evening.

Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Analysis

Analysis का अर्थ होता है वाक्य के अंगों या अंशों को अलग-अलग कर उनकी जाँच करना। सविधा की दृष्टि से इस कार्य को हम तीन भागों में बाँट सकते हैं –

(A) वाक्य के Clauses को अलग-अलग करना ।
(B) उन Clauses का नामकरण करना ।
(C) वाक्य का नामकरण करना।

[A] How to Find Out Clauses

सबसे पहले हमें यह देखना है कि clause किसे कहते हैं, क्योंकि इसके बिना clauses को अलग-अलग किया ही नहीं जा सकता । कुछ लोग दिये हुए वाक्य को अन्दाज से कई टुकड़ों में बाँट देते हैं। यह तरीका ठीक नहीं। यह तो सच है कि clause किसी sentence का एक भाग होता है, पर sentence का हर भाग clause नहीं भी हो सकता है।

Sentence के उस भाग (part) को clause कहते हैं जिसमें Subject और Finite Verb हों। यदि Subject और उसके Finite Verb का पता लग जाए, तो clauses आप-से-आप अलग हो जाएँगे, पर कुछ लोगों को इनका (Subject और Verb का) पता ही नहीं चलता ? इसलिए यहाँ इन दोनों पर विस्तारपूर्वक विचार करना आवश्यक है।

How to Find Out the Subject

आप जानते हैं कि केवल Noun या उसके equivalents (जो शब्द Noun का काम करें ही Subject हो सकते हैं, जैसे –

Noun – This book is good.
Pronoun – He is a good man.
Infinitive – To walk is healthy.
Gerund – Walking is good.
Phrase – What to do is difficult to decide.
Clause – What he says is quite right.

इस तालीका (chart) की मदद से आप subject को आसानी से पहचान सकते हैं।

[A] How to Find Out the Finite Verb

Finite Verb उस Verb को कहते हैं जिसका Number और Person Subject के अनुसार होता है। जैसे –
1. We go home
2. He goes home.

पहले वाक्य का Subject (We) Plural है इसलिए यहाँ Verb (go) plural है अतः ‘go’ Finite Verbहै इसी प्रकार दुसरे वाक्य में Verb (goes) singular है क्यों की subject (He) singular है इसलिए goes भी finite verb है ।

Note (a): जिस Verb का Number और Person Subject के अनुसार नहीं होता अधात् जो Subject की परवाह नहीं करके सदा स्वतन्त्र रूप में रहता है। उसी Absolute Verbहते हैं। ये Absolute Verbs तीन प्रकार के होते हैं –

1. Infinitive – I like to walk.
2. Gerund – I am fond of walking.
3. Participle – (i) Present Participle – Going there he saw a tiger.
(ii) Past Participle – Having gone there they saw a tiger.

तो, इस प्रकार Finite Verb और Absolute Verb में बहुत अन्तर है । Finite Verb सदा Subject के अनुसार होता है पर Absolute Verb कभी भी Subject के अनुसार नहीं होता, जैसे –
1. Having gone there he saw a tiger.
2. Having gone there they saw a tige

पहले वाक्य में Subject (he) Singular है और दूसरे में (they) Plural; पर Verb का रूप एक ही है। यही लक्षण Infinitive और Gerund का भी है।

इसलिए Absolute Verb को कभी भी Finite Verb नहीं समझना चाहिए, नहीं तो clauses ठीक-ठीक अलग हो ही नहीं सकते ।

Note (b) : कभी-कभी Infinitive (to + verb) का to चिह्न छिपा रहता है और केवल verb का प्रयोग होता है। इन वाक्यों को लें –

He can speak.
He should speak.
he must speak.
He had better speak.
I made him speak.
He did nothing but speak.

यहाँ speak Infinitive है । यह Finite Verb नहीं है। इसे Infinitive without to कहा जा सकता है। इसलिए ऐसे Infinitive को Finite Verb का एक भाग मान लेना चाहिए, इसे Finite Verb नहीं समझना चाहिए । इन सभी वाक्यों में केवल एक-एक Finite Verb है –

can speak, should speak, must speak, had better speak.

(ii) Elliptical (Contracted) Sentences.

Kinds of Sub-ordinate clauses

Subordinate Clauses तीन प्रकार के होते हैं –

Noun Clause
Adjective Clause.
Adverb Clause.

1.Noun Clause : किसी Complex Sentence में जो पद एक संज्ञा (Noun) का कार्य कर रहा हो, उसे Noun Clause कहा जाता है।

निम्नलिखित वाक्यों में तिरछे छपे हुए शब्द-समूह Noun Clause बनाते हैं –

1. That John is a theif was not known to me.
2. He was told that he must not be late again.
3. Listen to what the teacher says.
4. The fact is that he knows nothing.

2. Adjective Clause : किसी Complex Sentence में जो पद किसी विशेषण (Adjective) का कार्य कर रहा हो, उसे Adjective Clause कहा जाता है।

निम्नलिखित वाक्यों में तिरछे छपे हुए शब्द-समूह Adjective Clause बनाते हैं –

[C] How to Name a Sentence

इस प्रकार, clause को पहचान लेने के बाद, अन्त में हमें यह देखना चाहिए कि अमुक वाक्य किस तरह का है। कुछ लोग वाक्य को पहले ही पहचानकर clauses को अलग करते हैं और तब नामकरण करते हैं। मेरी समझ में यह तरीका तो घोड़े के आगे गाड़ी रखने के समान है। हम वाक्य का नामकरण कर ही कैसे सकते, जब तक यह पता ही न चले कि अमुक वाक्य में कितने clauses है और वे किस प्रकार के हैं ? इसलिए sentence का नामकरण अन्त में होना चाहिए । पर, यह किया कैसे जाय? इसके लिए वह जानना आवश्यक है कि वाक्य कितने प्रकार के होते हैं।

बनावट की दृष्टि से Sentence चार प्रकार का होता है –
(i) Simple
(ii) Compound
(iii) Complex
(iv) Mixed.

(i) Simple Sentence =1 Principal Clause.
(ii) Compound Sentence = at least 2 Principal Clause.
(iii) Complex Sentence = Simple Sentence + Subordinate Clause.
(iv) Mixed Sentence = Compound Sentence + Subordinae Clause.

इस प्रकार हम देखते हैं कि Simple और Compound Sentences में Subordinate Clause नहीं रहता, पर इन दोनों में अन्तर यह है कि Simple में एक ही Principal Clause रहता है ओर Compound में एक से अधिक अर्थात् कम-से-कम दो) Principal Clauses.

Complex Sentence में सिर्फ एक ही Principal.Clause रहता है जैसे कि Simple में, पर Complex में कम-से-कम एक Subordinate Clause का रहना आवश्यक है।

Mixed Sentence में कम-से-कम दो Principal Clauses और कम-से-कम एक Subordinae Clause का रहना आवश्यक है।

Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Active and Passive Voice

February 17, 2025

Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Active and Passive Voice

(Use of Passive Voice)

Active & Passive Voice & Quasi Passive

निम्नलिखित वाक्यों को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़िए और इसपर विचार कीजिए कि list A और list B के वाक्यों में क्या अन्तर है, विशेषकर उनके verbs के अर्थ और रूप में –

‘A’
I teach English Grammar.
He reads a book.
We hear songs.

‘B’
English Grammar is taught by me.
A book is read by him.
Songs are heard by us.

List A के वाक्यों में transitive verbs-teach, reads, hear से बोध होता है कि उनके कर्ता कुछ करते हैं। I teach; He reads; We hear-इनमें कर्ता की प्रधानता है। क्रिया के person और number भी subject के अनुसार है। लेकिन list B के verbs: is taught, is read, are heard से पता चलता है कि उनके कर्ता कुछ करते नहीं हैं, कर्ता को ही कुछ होता है। इन वाक्यों में वस्तु की प्रधानता है। यहाँ तक कि verb के number और person भी list A के वाक्यों के objects के अनुसार हैं।

इस तरह, इन वाक्यों के विवेचन से पता चलता है कि एक ही transitive verb का दो प्रकार से इस तरह व्यवहार किया जाता है कि एक में subject की प्रधानता झलकती है और ‘दूसरे से object की। Transitive verb के इसी रूप-परिवर्तन को अंगरेजी में Voice द्वारा व्यक्त करते हैं।

Note-वस्तुतः, voice तो verbs का ही होता है और वह भी transitive verbs का; लेकिन verbs के voice परिवर्तन के कारण समूचे वाक्य का भी ऐसा रूपान्तर हो जाता है कि, हम कह सकते हैं कि वाक्य active voice में है या passive voice में ।

Some special verbs – Active in form but Passive in sense

बहुत-से verbs ऐसे हैं जिनका रूप active की तरह मालूम होता है, लेकिन अर्थ passive की तरह होता है। इन्हें Quasi-Passive Verbs कहते हैं । जैसे-

The table feels hard (=is hard when it is felt)-टेबुल कड़ा मालूम पड़ता है (जब उसका स्पर्श किया जाता है)।
Sugar tastes sweet (= is sweet when tasted) चीनी मीठी लगती है (जब किसी के द्वारा चखी जाती है)।
Rose smells good (= is good when smelt)-गुलाब अच्छा महकता है (जब सूंघा जाता है)।
Your poem reads well (= sounds well when it is read)-आपकी कविता अच्छी लगती है (जब पढ़ी जाती है)।
This book sells well (is purchased by many) यह किताब अच्छी तरह बिकती है (जब बेची जाती है तब अधिकांश लोग खरीदते हैं)।

ऊपर के सभी वाक्यों वाक्यों में transitive verbs अपने complement के साथ हैं। अब कुछ ऐसे transitive verbs का अध्ययन कीजिए जिनका न कोई complement है ओर न कोई object ही स्पष्ट रहता है, फिर भी ऐसे verbs रूप में active लेकिन अर्थ में passive होते हैं ; जैसे –

A palace is building (एक महल बनाया जा रहा है)
The drum is beating (ढोल बजाया जा रहा है)
The guns are firing (बन्दूकें चलाई जा रही हैं)
This book is printing (यह किताब छप रही है, या छापी जा रहा है)
The cow is milking (गाय दूही जा रही है)

How to change Active Voice into Passive Voice

Verb को active voice से passive voice में बदलते समय पूरे वाक्य का रूपान्तर करना पड़ता है। Active voice में जो noun या pronoun nominative case में रहता है, उसको objective case में बदलकर उसके पहले by’ जोड़कर उसे object की जगह पर ले आते हैं। और, जो noun या pronoun active voice में objectie case में रहता है, उसे nominative case में ला subject की जगह पर रख देते हैं और तब इस नए subject के number और person तथा tense के अनुकूल verb to be’ का उपयुक्त रूप जोड़कर verb के past participle का प्रयोग करते हैं।

Verb to be’ के उपयुक्त रूप ये हैं –
Present Tense में is या am या are.
Past tense में was या were.
Past Participle में been.

How to change Active Voice with two objects into Passive Voice

साधारण नियम तो यह है कि अगर active voice में किसी verb के दो object रहें, तो एक को subject बना दिया जाए और दूसरे को retained object [देखें Chapter 4 के अन्तर्गत Five kinds of object] बनाकर object ही रखा जाए। जैसे –

He gave me a pen.
(i) I was given a pen by him.
(ii) A pen was given to me by him.

Active, voice के verb ‘gave’ के यहाँ दो objects हैं-me (indirect object), pen (directobject). वाक्य (i) में ‘me’ को I में बदलकर pen को ज्यों-का-त्यों retained object बनाकर रखा गया। वाक्य (ii) में pen को ही subject बनाकर ‘me’ को retained object बनाकर रख गया । व्याकरण की दृष्टि से ये दोनों वाक्य शुद्ध हैं और विद्यार्थी दोनों का व्यवहार कर सकते हैं। लेकिन आधुनिक usage के अनुसार वाक्य (i) ही अधिक उपयुक्त है। Allen का कहना है । ‘Active voice में यदि transitive verb के दो objects हैं, तो passive voice में personal object को ही subject बनाना चाहिए।

Verbs which cannot be used in Passive Voice

पहले कहा जा चुका है कि verb को active voice से passive voice में बदलने के लिए subject को object और object को subject बनाना पड़ता है। इससे वह स्पष्ट है कि

(a) जिस verb का object नहीं होता, उसको passive voice में नहीं बदला जा सकता है। चूंकि intransitive verb (अकर्मक क्रिया) का कोई object नहीं होता, इसलिए intransitive verb का passive voice नहीं हो सकता । यह साधारण नियम है, लेकिन कुछ अवस्थाओं में intransitive verb का भी passive voice होता है। जैसे-

(i) अगर intransitive verb के बाद preposition आने से वह transitive verb बन जाए और उसका कोई object रहे, तो उस verb का passive voice हो सकता है। जैसे –
He laughed at the dwarf.
The dwarf was laughted at by him.
They spoke to the man.
The man was spoken to by them.

इन वाक्यों में preposition को verb का ही अंश माना जाएगा औरpassive voice में भी वह verb के बाद अवश्य आएगा ।

(ii) अगर किसी intransitive verb का cognate object रहे, तो उसका passive voice हो सकता है जैसे –

We ran a race.
A race was run by us.
He dreamt a sweet dream.
A sweet dream was dreamt by him.

(iii) अगर किसी intransitive verb का causative verb की तरह व्यवहार हुआ हो, तो उसका passive voice हो सकता है जैसे –

They grow rice.
Rice is grown by them.
We feed the poor.
The poor are fed by us.
The labourers felled a tree.
A tree was felled by the labourers.

(b) Perfect continuous tense–present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, future perfect continuous verbs का passive voice नहीं होता ।

(c) Quasi-passive verbs का साधारणतः passive voice नहीं होता, क्योंकि उनका अर्थ तो होता ही है इसलिए इन वाक्यों के verbs का passive नहीं होगा ।

The poem reads well.
The honey tastes sweet.

Passive Voice में object के पूर्व ‘by’ के स्थान पर अन्य शब्द

ऊपर कहा जा चुका है कि passive voice में बदले जाने पर active voice का subject objective case में बदलकर object की जगह पर आता है और उसके पहले subject objective case में बदलकर object की जगह पर आता है और उसके पहले preposition by का प्रयोग होता है। लेकिन इसके कुछ अपवाद भी हैं :

(i) कुछ passive verbs के बाद by के बदले किसी दूसरे preposition का (जो उस verb के उपयुक्त हो) व्यवहार किया जाता है। जैसे –

Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Active and Passive Voice 2

इसी तरह, astonished, pleased, disgusted इत्यादि verbs के बाद by नहीं प्रयुक्त होता । किसी दूसरे उपयुक्त Preposition का व्यवहार किया जाता है।

(ii) बहुत-से वाक्यों में जहाँ active voice का subject अनिर्दिष्ट है, जैसे-they, nobody, no one इत्यादि, वहाँ passive voice बनाने में विद्यार्थियों को कठिनाई होती है। उनकी सुविधा के लिए यहाँ कुछ उदाहरण दिए जा रहे हैं –

Interchange of Active Voice and Passive Voice

Voice के प्रसंग में आपको Active voice से Passive voice में बदलने के कुछ प्रमुख नियमों से अवगत कराया गया है। यहाँ हम interrogative, imperative, complex, compound sentences इत्यादि को active में Passive voice में बदलने के तरीके पर विचार करें।

Infinitive वाले वाक्य का Passive Voice

अगर वाक्य में finite verb, intransitive रहे और उसके बाद infinitive का प्रयोग हो तो infinitive को उसके past participle रूप में कर देने से वाक्य passive voice में हो जाएगा। जैसे –

Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Active and Passive Voice 4

Imperative Verb got Passive Voice

Imperative के transitive verbs के passive voice बनाने में इस वाक्य को let से प्रारम्भ करते हैं (भले ही वाक्य में पहले से let नहीं रहे) और तब verb के बदले उसके passive infinitive, without to का प्रयोग करते हैं। जैसे –

Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Active and Passive Voice 5

Note-विद्यार्थियों को उचित है कि बायीं ओर के वाक्य में subject you जो लुप्त है, उसे लिखकर, voice का परिवर्तन करें। जैसे –

Read this book = (you) read this book.
और यह passive voice में हो जाएगा –
Let this book be read by you.

Interrogative sentence a transitive verb का Passive voice में परिवर्तन

(1) अगर interrogative sentence, auxiliary verb से शुरू हो –

विद्यार्थी अगर अलती से बचना चाहते हों तो उन्हें चाहिए कि voice परिवर्तन के पहले ऐसे वाक्य को assertive sentence में बदल लें। फिर, ऊपर दिए गए साधारण नियमों के अनुसार वाक्य का voice बदल दें। और, voice परिवर्तन के बाद sentence को पुनः interrogative sentence के रूप में लिख लें; जैसे –

Did you read this book? इस वाक्य में verb ‘read’ active voice में है। हम इसको – passive voice में बदलने के पहले –

इसको assertive sentence के रूप में लिखें-You read this book.
यह passive voice में हो जाएगा-This book was read by you.
अब इसको interrogative sentence के रूप में लिखें-Was this book read by you?

कुछ अन्य उदाहरणों का अध्ययन करें –

Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Active and Passive Voice 6

(2) अगर transitive verb वाला interrogative sentence ‘who’ से प्रारम्भ हो तो passive voice में बदलने के लिए ‘who’ को active voice का subject मानकर साधारण नियमों के अनुसार वाक्य को passive में बदल देंगे, जैसे-

Active:
1. Who did this?
2. Who killed the dog
3. who reads this book

Passive:
1. By whom was this done?
2. By whom was the dog killed?
3.By whom is this book read?

Note-Who का objective case ‘whom’ होता है।

(3) अगर transitive verb वाला interrogative sentence why, when, where, how इत्यादि question word से शुरू हो –

तो इस question word को पहले वाक्य से निकालकर ऊपर (1) में दिए गए तरीके से passive voice बना लें और तब question word को पुनः passive voice के वाक्य के शुरू में जोड़ दें; जैसे

Why did you read this book ?
When did he kill the dog ?
How did they admit all students ?
How did you like the dinner ?

इन वाक्यों से ‘अगर why, when how को हटा लें तो इनका सही रूप रहता है जो (1) में दिए गए वाक्यों का है, तो हम (1) में बताए गए नियम के अनुसार इनका passive में रूपान्तर कर लेंगे और तब क्रमश: why, when, how को वाक्य के आरम्भ में जोड़कर लिखेंगे –

Why was this book read by you ?
When was the dog killed by him ?
How were all students admitted by them ?
How was the dinner liked by you ?

Change of transitive verb in complex and compound sentences from the active voice to the passive voice –

अगर किसी वाक्य में एक से अधिक finile verb रहें और वे सभी transitive हों तो एक को Passive voice में बदलने पर दूसरे को भी passive voice में बदलना पड़ेगा । जैसे, हम इन वाक्यों को लें –

Active

He told me that he had read the book.
He wrote this book and gave it to Anjana P&D for publication.
She wrote the letter but lore it to pieces.

Passive

I was told by him that the book been read by him.
This book was written by him and (it was) given (by him) to Anjana (P&D) for publicatipn.
The letter was written by her but (it was) torn (by her) to pieces.

ऊपर दिए गए वाक्यों में हम देकते है की प्रत्येक में दो – दो Clauses हैं ।

(i) He told me +that he had read the book..
(ii) He wrote this book + and + (he) have it to Anjana (P & D) for publication.
(iii) She wrote the letter + and + (she) tore it to pieces.

इन वाक्यों को passive रूप में लाने केलिए हम दोनों lauses को अलग अलग passive रूप में ले आते हैं, और तब उनको जोड़ देते हैं।

Note – अगर एक ही clause में एक finite verb रहे और उसके साथ infinitive __verb रहे तो हम दोनों का passive voice में नहीं बदल सकते, क्योंकि double passive का व्यवहार नहीं हो सकता ।

Passive Voice से Active Voice बनाने का नियम

(i) अगर दिए हुए वाक्यों में कुछ शब्द लुप्त हों तो उनको कोष्ठ (brackets) में लिखकर वाक्यों को पूरा कर लीजिए । प्रायः passive voice में by+ object लुप्त रहता है । ऐसी हालत में अपनी ओर से by + उपयुक्त object जोड़कर वाक्य को पूरा का लीजिए । जैसे –

The thief was arrested. = The thief was arrested (by the police).
My watch was stolen. = My watch was stolen (by someone).
It is said that he is poor.=It is said (by them or by people) that he is poor.

The letter was written by her and torn to bits. = The letter was written by her and it was) torn to bits (by her).

(iii) Passive voice & subject objective case # 3TEC site 3 active voice के वाक्य में object की जगह पर लिखिए।

(iv) Verb to be’ को हटाकर, verb के past participle रूप को नए subject के अनुसार बदल दीजिए।

(v) Passive voice के object के पहले ‘by’, ‘to’ अथवा अन्य कोई preposition रहे तो उसे हटा दीजिए; जैसे –

Tense

Tense- (E) Excla – क्रिया के रूप को Tense कहा जाता है । (The tense of a verb shows the time when an action takes place)

Kinds of Tense

Tense के तीन भेद होते हैं –
1. Present Tense (वर्तमान काल)
2. Past Tense (भूतकाल)
3. Future Tense (भविष्य काल)

Preseent Tense

जब क्रोई कार्य वर्तमान समय में होता है तो Present Tense कहते हैं, जैसे – Ram reads a book. He is writing a letter. Mohan has gone home. Sohan has been reading in this school for four years.

Past Tense

जब कोई कार्य बीते हुए समय में हुआ था, हो रहा था, हो चुका था, होता आ रहा था तो ऐसी क्रिया को Past Tense कहते हैं –

Future Tense

जब क्रिया से आनेवाले समय का बोध होता है, उसे Future Tense कहा जाता है जैसे-I shall go home.

1. Present Tense

Kinds of Present Tense
I. Present Simple/Indefinite
ऐसे वाक्यों की बनावट होती है –

Subject+full verb[Present Simple]

Present Indefinite Tense का प्रयोग निम्नलिखित परिस्थितियों में किया जाता है :

इस प्रकार के वाक्यों में Future Time बतानेवाले Adverbs of Time का प्रयोग होता है, जैसे
tomorrow, next day, next week/month/year.

Rule v. ऐसे वाक्यों से ऐतिहासिक वर्तमान (historical present) का बोध होता है और इसलिए इनसे Past Time का भाव व्यक्त होता है; जैसे –

1. Now the Battle of Panaipat begins.
2. Now Akbar calls Birbal and asks.

Rule VI. ऐसे वाक्यों से समय (time) या शर्त (condition) का बोध होता है और Future Time का भाव व्यक्त होता है; जैसे –

1. You will pass if you work hard.
2. I will wait here until he comes back.
यहाँ If you work hard का अर्थ है-If you will work hard और Until he comes back का अर्थ है-Until he will come back.

2. Present Continuous Tense

ऐसे वाक्यों की बनावट होती है –

Subject+am/is/are+verb+ing

Present Continuous Tesne का प्रयोग निम्नलिखित परिस्थितियों में किया जाता है :

Rule I. ऐसे वाक्यों से तात्कालिक वर्तमान (immediate present-Now) का बोध होता है; जैसे –
1. The sun is rising now.
2. They are catching fish now.

Rule II. ऐसे वाक्यों से भविष्य में होनेवाले कार्यक्रम/योजना (plan/programme) का भी बोधं होता है और इसलिए इनसे Future Time व्यक्त होता है; जैसे –

1. He is leaving for home tomorrow.
2. She is taking her examination next week.

Rule III. ऐसे वाक्यों से कार्य करने के इरादे (intention) या संभावना (likelihood) का बोध होता है और इसलिए इनसे Future Time का भाव व्यक्त होता है; जैसे –

2. The patient is going to die.- likelihood

3. Present Perfect Tense

Subject+has/have+past participle

Present Perfect Tense का प्रयोग निम्नलिखित परिस्थितियों में होता है।

Rule I. इससे यह बोध होता है कि कोई कार्य तुरन्त समाप्त हुआ है और इसलिए इसका सम्बन्ध वर्तमान समय (Present Time) से नहीं रहता है। जैसे –

1. I have finished the work.
2. He has returned from Delhi.

Rule II. इससे यह भी बोध होता है कि कार्य का सम्बन्ध वर्तमान समय (Present time) से जुड़ा हुआ है, क्योंकि इसका प्रभाव अभी भी जारी है; जैसे –

1. He has lived here since 1970.
2. I have known him for five years.

4. Present Perfect Continuous Tense

Subject+has/have+been+verb-ing

इससे यह बोध होता है कि जो काम भूतकाल (past) में आरम्भ हुआ था वह वर्तमान समय (present time) में जारी है, जैसे –

1. It has been raining since Monday.
2. He has been working here since January.

Past Tense

1. Past Indefinite Tense (V₂)

Past Indefinite Tense का प्रयोग निम्नलिखित स्थितियों में किया जाता है :

(a) भूतकाल में पूरी हुई किसी क्रिया के लिए :
1. We learnt English at school.
2. He killed a snake.
3. My father taught in this school.

(b) भूतकाल के सम्बन्ध में किसी आदत, अथवा प्रायः होने वाली क्रिया के लिए :
1. He came to me every evening.
2. He never told a lie.
3. I always spoke the truth.

2. Past Continuous Tense (was/were + V₁-ing)

Past Progressive (Continuous) Tense का प्रयोग तब किया जाता है जब कोई क्रिया भूतकाल में किसी निश्चित समय पर अथवा किसी निश्चित अवधि के दौरान चल रही हो ।

1. He was writing a letter when I saw him.
2. I was reading a novel yesterday afternoon.

Past Progressive तथा Simple Past के अन्तर को अच्छी प्रकार से समझ लेना चाहिए।

Simple Past Tense – भूतकाल में पूरी हो चुकी क्रिया के लिए।
Past Progressive Tense – भूतकाल में जारी रही क्रिया के लिए ।

Past Progressive का प्रयोग उस स्थिति में किया जाता है जब हमारी मुख्य रूचि क्रिया के समाप्ति में न हो, अपितु क्रिया के जारी रहने में हो।

क्रिया के पूरे होने में हमारी रुचि कम होती है और क्रिया के जारी रहने की स्थिति पर अधिक बल होता है। यदि हमारी रुचि क्रिया के पूरा होने में हो तो simple Past का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

Completed activity (V₂)

He came into the room
I saw her
I dropped my watch
When you telephoned ?
It began to rain

Continuing activity was/ were V₁-ing)

while I was waiting.
as I was passing yesterday.

2. I had funished my work by evening.

(b) किसी असन्तुष्ट इच्छा को प्रकट करने के लिए।

1. I wish my father had been here at this time.
2. I wish I had worked harder.

1. He said, “The train arrived late.” (Simple Past)
He said that the train had arrived late. (Past Perfect)

2. He said, ” I have left my parents.” (Present Perfect)
He said that he had left his parents. (Past Perfect)

(d) यदि किसी वाक्य में भूतकाल में घटित दो घटनाओं का वर्णन हो, तो उनमें से जो घटना पहले घटी हो, उसके लिए Past Perfect Tense का प्रयोग किया जाता है, और जो घटना अपेक्षाकृत रूप से बाद में घटी हो, तो उसके लिए Past Indefinite Tense का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

Past Perfect Tense का प्रयोग तभी किया जाना चाहिए यदि भूतकाल में होने वाली कोई क्रिया किसी अन्य क्रिया की अपेक्षा पहले पूरी होने का भाव रखती हो।

4. Past Perfect Continuous Tense

(had + been+V₁-ing)

Past Perfect Continuous Tense का प्रयोग तब किया जाता है यदि कोई क्रिया भूतकाल से आरम्भ होकर भूतकाल में ही किसी निश्चित समय पर चल रही हो; जैसे –

When I reached there at 2 p.m., he had been waiting for me since 1.30 p.m.

Future Tense

Future Tense के निम्नलिखित भेद हैं।

1. Future Simple

(i) First Person + shall + Infinitive (without to)

He shall pay the fine. [threat]

Rule III. कुछ Interrogative Sentences इस प्रकार के होते हैं –

Shall + I + Infinitive [without to]

1. Shall I open the door ?
2. Shall I make tea for you ?

ऐसे वाक्यों से राय परामर्श/निवेदन (advise/suggestion/request) का भाव प्रकट होता है और Fresent Time का बोध होता है।

Rule IV. कभी-कभी Future Simple से आदत या सत्य का भाव प्रकट होता है और इससे Past, Present, Future तीनों प्रकार के Time का बोध होता है –

1. Boys will be boys.
2. Accidents will happen.

3. Future Imperfect [Progressive]
Subject+shall be/will be+verb+ing

Rule I – इससे यह बोध होता है कि कोई कार्य भविष्य में कुछ समय तक जारी रहेगा; जैसे –

Rule – एसे वाक्यों से भविष्य में होनेवाले कार्यक्रम/योजना का भी बोध होता है; जैसेI shall be seeing her tomorrow.

3. Future Perfect

Rule I. इससे यह बोध होता है कि कोई कार्य भविष्य में किसी निर्धारित समय तक समाप्त हो चुकेगा; जैसे –

1. He will have finished the work by next year.
2. She will have returned home by next month.

Rule II. Future Perfect से संभावना (likelihood) या अनुमान (inference) का भी बोध होता है। ऐसी संभावना या अनुमान का संबंध भूतकाल (Past) के कार्यों से रहता है, जैसे –

1. You will have heard this story. [शायद आपने इस कहानि को सूना होगा]
2. You will have seen this man. [शायद आपने इस व्यक्ति को देखा होगा]

इस प्रकार , will have + past participle agt 39ef staru may have + past participle और can have + past participle का होता है।

4. Future Perfect Continuous

Subject + shall/will have been + verb+ing

इससे यह बोध होता है कि कार्य भविष्य में बहुत समय तक जारी रहेगा –

1. I shall have been writing a novel.
2. He will have been reading a novel.

Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Transformation of Sentences

निम्नलिखित वाक्यों का अध्ययन कीजिए –

Patna is the best town in Bihar.
Patna is better than any other town in Bihar.
No other town in Bihar is so good as Patna.

पहले वाक्य का अर्थ है ‘पटना बिहार में सबसे अच्छा शहर है’ और दूसरे वाक्य का तात्पर्य यह है कि ‘पटना बिहार के किसी भी अन्य शहर से अच्छा है।’ वास्तव में दोनों का अर्थ एक ही है। वाक्यों की बनावट में थोड़ा हेर-फेर है।

तीसरे वाक्य का अर्थ ‘बिहार में कोई भी दूसरा शहर इतना अच्छा नहीं है जितना पटना है।’ इस वाक्य से भी वही अर्थ निकलता है जो पहले या दूसरे वाक्य से निकलता है।

तीनों वाक्यों में केवल adjective के प्रयोग में अन्तर है। पहले वाक्य में superlative degree के adjective का प्रयोग है। दूसरे वाक्य में comparative degree के adjective का ; और तीसरे वाक्य में positive degree के adjective का । पर तीनों वाक्यों में एक ही adjective के तीन degrees हैं। तीनों वाक्यों से sense अभिप्राय) एक ही निकलता है।

अतः, हम यह समझें कि तीनों वाक्यों के रूप में अन्तर है लेकिन अर्थ में नहीं। इसी तरह किसी वाक्य के sense को ज्यों-का-त्यों रखते हुए उस वाक्य के रूप या इस वाक्य की बनावट को बदल देने की क्रिया को Transformation कहा जाता है।

Transformation means the change of a sentence from one grammatical form to another without altering the sense.

1. Removal of ‘Too’ from a sentence :

किसी भी वाक्य में यदि ‘Too’ शब्द का प्रयोग हुआ हो, तो सबसे पहले उस वाक्य का स्पष्ट अर्थ समझ लें और उसे हिन्दी में लिखकर उसका अनुवाद अंगरेजी में इस तरह कर लें कि उसमें ‘too’ का प्रयोग नहीं रहे। यही सबसे सहज उपाय है। जैसे –

(i) He is too weak to walk.
इस वाक्य का हिन्दी में यही अर्थ होगा कि “वह इतना कमजोर है कि वह टहल नहीं सकता है।” इस हिन्दी के वाक्य का अंगरेजी में इस प्रकार अनुवाद किया जा सकता है –

(ii) He is so weak that he cannot walk.
पहले वाक्य में ‘too’ शब्द का प्रयोग है, दूसरे वाक्य में नहीं। दोनों वाक्यों में क्या अन्तर है? ध्यानपूर्वक देखिए –
पहले वाक्य में ……….. too + adjective
दूसरे वाक्य में ……… so (adjective के पहले) + that + subject (he) + cannot …..

अतः, यह स्पष्ट है कि ‘too’ के स्थान पर ‘so …. that…… not ये तीनों शब्द यथास्थान अवश्य रहेंगे। इसके अतिरिक्त, ‘that’ के बाद subject दुहराया जायेगा और उसके बाद verb को उचित tense में negative रूप में रखा जाएगा।

2. Interchange of Assertive and Interrogative Sentences

निम्नलिखित वाक्यों का अध्ययन कीजिए –

Interrogative – Can it be true ?
Assertive – It cannot be true.
Interrogative – Who is there who does not love his country ?
Assertive – (i) Every body loves his country,(ii) There is no one who does not love his country.
Interrogative – Is there anything greater than love?
Assertive – There is nothing greater than love.
Interrogative – What does it matter if we lose ?
Assertive – (i) It does not matter if we lose,(ii) It matters little if we lose.
Assertive – Everyone wishes to be happy.
Interrogative – Who does not wish to be happy ?
Assertive – It is useless to waste time.
Interrogative – Why waste time?
Assertive – One swallow does not make a summer.
Intrrogative – Does one swallow make a summer ?

Note – (i) ऊपर जो वाक्य दिए गए है उनसे यह स्पष्ट है कि ये उस तरह से interrogative नहीं बनाए गए हैं जिस तरह से Chapter 6 में affrmative sentence को negative या interrogative बनाया गया है जैसे –

Affirmative – I read a book.
Negative – I do not read a book.”
Interrogative – Do I read a book ?

यहाँ इन दोनों वाक्यों के रूप बदलने से अर्थ में भी अन्तर आ गया है। अतः, यह transformation नहीं हुआ क्यों transformation में अर्थ का अन्तर नहीं आना चाहिए।

(ii) ऊपर दिए गए उदाहरणों से यह भी स्पष्ट है कि कुछ प्रकार के वाक्यों को _interrogative से assertive में नहीं बदला जा सकता है; जैसे –

What is your name?
Where do you live ?
Why do you smile ?
Did you have your meal ?

इन वाक्यों को हम assertive sentence में नहीं बदल सकते । हम उन्हीं Interrogative sentences को assertive में बदल सकते हैं जो वास्तव में rhetorical questions हैं अर्थात् जिनके उत्तर प्रश्न में ही निहित हैं। या यों कहिए कि जिन प्रश्नों का उत्तर res/ no में दिया जा सकता है, उन्हीं interrogative वाक्यों को assertive वाक्यों में transform किया जा सकता है, अन्य interrogativesentences को साधारणत: नहीं।

(iii) Interrogative sentence को assertive या assertive sentence को inter rogative में बदलने के लिए विशेष नियम नहीं है। लेकिन स्मरण रखना चाहिए कि अगर assertive sentence में no/not का व्यवहार हुआ हो तो Interrogative sentence में nod not का व्यवहार नहीं होगा। और, अगर assertive sentence में no/not नहीं रहे तो errogative sentence में no/not का अवश्य प्रयोग होगा । अर्थात्,

(a) अगर assertive sentence affirmative रहे तो interrogative sentence negative question हो जायेगा।
(b) अगर assertive sentence negative at interrogative sentence affirmative question हो जायेगा।
(c) उसी प्रकार Interrogative से assertive में बदलते समय यह देखना पड़ता है कि question में affirmative verb है या negative, यदि verb affirmative हो तो उसे negative बनाया जाता है और यदि negative हो तो affirnative बनाया जाता है।

3. Interchange of Affirmative and Negative Sentences

निम्नलिखित वाक्यों का अध्ययन कीजिए –

Affirmative – I was doubtful whether it was you.
Negative – I was not sure whether it was you.
Affirmative – He must not have missed to seet the Taj Mahal.
Negative – He must have seen the Taj Mahal.
Affirmative – I love him.
Negative – I am not without love for him.
Affirmative – I am wiser than you.
Negative – You are not so wise as I.
Negative – None but the poor deserves help.
Affirmative – The poor alone deserve help.
Negative – He does not take winc.
Affirmative – He abstains from wine.
Affirmative – As soon as the train started, he came to the station.
Negative – No sooner did the train start than he came to the station.

इस Chapter 6 में दिए गए affirmative से negative बनाने के जो नियम और उदाहरण दिए गए हैं और ऊपर जो उदाहरण दिए गए हैं, उन्हें विद्यार्थी अच्छी तरह समझने की कोशिश करें।

उपर्युक्त उदाहरणों से यह मालूम होता है कि affirmative से negative अथवा nagative से affirmative बदलने के लिए कोई खास नियम नहीं है। वाक्य के अर्थ को भलीभाँति समझकर आवश्यकतानुसार कोई उचित word या phase चुनकर बैठा दिया जाता है। केवल इसी बात का ख्याल रखना चाहिए कि वाक्य के अर्थ में अन्तर न पड़े और double ‘negative के व्यवहार को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़ें

कुछ और उदाहरणों को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़ें –

Negative – He is no mean player
Affirmative – He is a good player.
Negative – This is not impossible.
Affirmative – This is possible.
Negative – He was asked not to smoke.
Affirmative – He was prohibited from smoking.
Negative – He did not lose a single match.
Affirmative – He won all the matches.
Negative – He does not go there very often.
Affirmative – He seldom goes there.
Negative – The doctor had never treated his patients unfairly.
Affirmative – The doctor had always treated his patients fairly.

Change the following sentences into Affiirmative :
Note : उत्तर प्रत्येक वाक्य के सामने तिरछे अक्षरों (italics) में दिया गया है।
Bihar Board Class 11 English Grammar Transformation of Sentences 6

6. Interchange of the Degrees of Comparison

वाक्य के अर्थ में बिना कोई परिवर्तन किए ही adjective या adverb के degree बदल दिए जा सकते हैं। निम्नलिखित वाक्यों में degree के ऊपर ध्यान दीजिए –

superlative – ‘Shakuntala’ is the best drama in Sanskrit.
Comparative – (i) ‘Shakuntala’ is better than any other drama in Sanskirt, या (ii) ‘Shakuntala’ is better than all other dramas in Sanskrit.
Positive – No other drama in Sanskrit is so good as ‘Shakuntala’ (or, as good as ‘Shakuntala’).

उपर्युक्त सभी वाक्यों के अर्थ एक ही हैं । वाक्यों में प्रयुक्त adjective के degree में अन्तर है। ‘Best’ की जगह पर ‘better than any other’ या ‘better than all other’ रखने की आवश्यकता है, यदि comparative degree के adjective का प्रयोग करना हो। यह भी ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि ‘any other,के बाद singular noun होगा और ‘all other’ के बाद plural noun होगा। (स्मरण रहे कि better than any या better than all कभी नहीं लिखें; इसके बाद other शब्द का अवश्य प्रयोग करें।)

यदि positive degree के adjective का प्रयोग करना हो, तो no other + noun in singular number + so good as (या as good as) लिखा जाएगा। निम्नलिखित उदाहरणों से ये बातें और भी स्पष्ट होंगी।

Superlative – Delhi is the best town in India.
Comparative – Delhi is better than all other towns in India. या Delhi is better than any other town in India.
Positive – No other town in India is so (या as) good as Delhi.
Superlative – Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the greatest man in India.
Comparative – Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was greater than all other men in India.
या – Pandit Jawaharlal Nchru was greater than any other man in India.
Positive – No other inan in India was so (as) great as Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

कुछ वाक्यों में degree को दूसरे प्रकार से भी बदला जाता है। निम्नलिखित उदाहरणों का अध्ययन कीजिए –

Superlative – Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was one of the greatest men of the world.
Comparative – Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was greater than most other men of the world.
Positive – Very few men of the world were so great as (or, as great as) Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
Superlative – Milton was onc of the greatest poets of England.
Comparative – Miltion was greater than most vlher poets of England.
Positive – Very few poets of England were so great as (or, as great as) Milton.
Superlative – Gold is one of the heaviest of metals.
Comparative – Gold is heavier than any other metal.
Positive – Very few metals are as heavy as (or, so heavy as) gold.

Exercise (86) के पहले दिए गए उदाहरणों और उपर्युक्त उदाहरणों में कुछ अन्तर है। उपर्युक्त उदाहरणों में दिया गया है;-‘one of the best, one of the greatest, one of the heaviest, etc.’ इनके पहले बताए गए उदाहरणों में दिया गया है। ‘the best, the greatest, the heaviest of all, इत्यादि । दोनों प्रकार के वाक्यों के अर्थ में भिन्नता है| The greatest’ का अर्थ है ‘सबसे बड़ा’ और ‘one of the greatest’ का अर्थ है ‘सबसे बड़े-बड़े व्यक्तियों में एक’ । अतः, the greatest का अर्थ ही है greater than all other और one of the greatest का अर्थ है ‘greatest than most other’ । अतः, परिवर्तित वाक्यों में भी भिन्नता रहेगी।

One of the best के स्थान पर comparative degree में better than most other.

The best ” ” ” ” ” ” better than all other या better than any other.

उसी प्रकार positive degree में,
One of the best के स्थान पर Very few …… so good as.
The best ” ” No other ……….. so good as.

7. Interchange of Exclamatory and Assertive Sentences

(i) निम्नलिखित वाक्यों का अध्ययन कीजिए –

Exclamatory – O that I were rich !
Assertive – I wish that I were rich: (या) I earnestly desire to be rich.
Exclamatory – Would that I had not wasted my time when I was young!
Assertive – I wish that I had not wasted my time when I was young.
Exclamatory – If only I could gain the first prize!
Assertive – I wish to gain the firsty prize, (या) I earnestly desire o yain the first prize.

उपर्युक्त उदाहरणों को देखने में मालूम होता है कि यदि exclamatory sentence के आरंभ में (a) If I could only, (b) Would that, (c)O that, (d) If I were इत्यादि हों, तो उन्हें assertive में बदलते समय ‘I wish’ अथवा ‘Tearmestly desire’ आदि कर दिया जाता है।

इस तरह के वाक्यों को पढ़ने से मालूम होता है कि कोई हार्दिक इच्छा व्यक्त की जा रही है। If I were a millionaire ! (यदि मैं लखपति होता !) इस वाक्य को पढ़ने से मालूम होता है कि लखपति होने की इच्छा पूरी नहीं हुई है।

(ii) कुछ अन्य उदाहरणों को देखिए –

Exclamatory – Alas that youth should pass away !
Assertive – It is sad to think that youth should pass away.
Exclamatory – Good heavens! Whatadisaster!
Assertive – It is indeed a great disaster.
Exclamatory – A fireman and afraid of sparks !
Assertive – A fireman should not be afraid of sparks.
Exclamatory – What a piece of work is man !
Assertive – Man is a strange piece of work.

उपर्यक्त उदाहरणों को देखने से मालम होता है कि exclamatorv sentence में जिस बात पर विस्मय प्रकट किया जाता है उसी बात को सीधे-सीधे साधारण रूप में रख देने से assertive sentence बन जाता है। यदि कहें कि ‘कितना सुन्दर यह फूल है।’ तो इसको साधारण तरीके से कहा जा सकता है कि ‘यह फूल बहुत सुन्दर है।’ ठीक उसी तरह अँगरेजी में भी वाक्य का भाव समझकर उसे साधारण प्रकार के वाक्य के वाक्य में परिवर्तित किया जा सकता है । उपर्युक्त वाक्यों के लिए कोई विशेष नियम नहीं बन सकता है। अभ्यास द्वारा विद्यार्थी इस प्रकार के वाक्यों को transform कर सकते हैं।

(iii) कुछ और उदाहरणों को देखिए –
matory – What a fine picture it is !
assertive – It is a very fine picture.
Exclamatory – How sweet it smells !
Assertive – He smells very sweet.
Exclamatory – How funny!
Assertive – It is very funny.

इन वाक्यों के अध्ययन से निम्नलिखित बातें मालूम होती हैं –

(a) Exclamatory sentence यदि how, what या such से आरंभ हो, तो उसे assertive में बदलते समय यह देखना चाहिए कि how, what या such के बाद adjective है या noun. यदि noun है तो how, what या such के स्थान पर ‘great’ आदि शब्द रखकर वाक्य में subject, verb और object या complement को उचित स्थान पर रखिए।

(b) How, what या such के बाद यदि adjective हो तो how, what या such के स्थान पर ‘very’ शब्द रखकर वाक्य में subject, verb और object या complement को उचित स्थान पर रखिए।

(c) Assertive Sentence में सबसे पहले subject, उसके बाद verb, उसके बाद परिवर्तित very या great आदि के बाद क्रमश: adjective या Noun रखना चाहिए।
