I prefer writing to readingExplanation
- English verb “prefer” is usually followed by a gerund (-ing form) when it is followed immediately by a verb. For example, “I prefer writing ” is correct, not “I prefer write .” - When comparing two actions using “prefer ... to ...,” both actions should be in the same form, typically both as gerunds (verb + ing). - The correct pattern is: prefer + gerund + to + gerund . তাই, সঠিক বাক্য হবে I prefer writing to reading. কারণ এখানে “prefer” এর পরের verb হলো “writing” যা gerund আকারে আছে এবং “to” এর পরের verb “reading” ও gerund আকারে আছে। বাকিটা ভুল কারণ— - Option 1: “I prefer write to read” – “write” ও “read” হলো base form তাই ভুল। - Option 2: “I prefer writing to read” – “writing” হলো gerund কিন্তু “read” হলো base form, সমান রূপ নেই। - Option 3: “I prefer write to reading” – “write” base form আর “reading” gerund, এই সমন্বয় সঠিক নয়। - Option 4: “I prefer writing to reading” – দুইটিই gerund, তাই সম্পূর্ণ সঠিক। সারাংশ: “prefer” গাছাষের পরে gerund ফর্ম ব্যবহার করতে হয় এবং তুলনা করার সময় দুইটি verb একই ফর্মে রাখা জরুরি।Related questions
