02/23/2026 29 Min Read

আটটি Parts of Speech-এর মধ্যে একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ অংশ হল Preposition। ‘Preposition’ শব্দটি দুটি অংশে বিভক্ত— ‘Pre’ অর্থ পূর্বে এবং ‘Position’ অর্থ অবস্থান। অর্থাৎ যে শব্দ Noun, Pronoun বা Noun equivalent-এর পূর্বে অবস্থান করে এবং বাক্যের অন্যান্য শব্দের সঙ্গে তার সম্পর্ক নির্দেশ করে, তাকে Preposition বলা হয়।

Preposition মূলত বাক্যে সম্পর্ক নির্দেশকারী শব্দ। এটি কোনো ব্যক্তি, বস্তু, স্থান, সময় বা কারণের সঙ্গে অন্য কিছুর সম্পর্ক বোঝায়। সাধারণত Preposition-এর পরে একটি Noun বা Pronoun বসে, যাকে Object of the Preposition বলা হয়। যেমন—

The book is on the table.
She is going to school.
He came from Kolkata.

উপরের উদাহরণগুলোতে on, to, from শব্দগুলো Preposition, কারণ এগুলো পরবর্তী Noun-এর সঙ্গে বাক্যের অন্য অংশের সম্পর্ক স্থাপন করেছে।

Preposition সাধারণত বিভিন্ন সম্পর্ক প্রকাশ করে—

স্থান নির্দেশক (Place): in, on, at, under, beside ইত্যাদি।
যেমন: The cat is under the table.
সময় নির্দেশক (Time): at, on, in, before, after ইত্যাদি।
যেমন: He was born in 2010.
দিক নির্দেশক (Direction): to, into, towards ইত্যাদি।
যেমন: She went to the market.
কারণ বা উদ্দেশ্য (Cause/Purpose): for, because of ইত্যাদি।
যেমন: He was punished for his mistake.

Preposition সঠিকভাবে ব্যবহার করা খুব গুরুত্বপূর্ণ, কারণ ভুল Preposition ব্যবহার করলে বাক্যের অর্থ সম্পূর্ণ বদলে যেতে পারে। ইংরেজি ভাষায় দক্ষতা অর্জনের জন্য Preposition-এর যথাযথ প্রয়োগ জানা আবশ্যক।

সুতরাং বলা যায়, যে শব্দ Noun/Pronoun-এর পূর্বে বসে এবং বাক্যের অন্যান্য শব্দের সঙ্গে তার সম্পর্ক প্রকাশ করে, সেই শব্দই Preposition।

সাধারণভাবে পরিচিত কয়েকটি Preposition ও তাদের অবস্থান সম্পর্কে আলোচনা করা হল।
