Compound to Simple


3. Compound to Simple:
compound sentence is characterized by at least two independent clauses which can be used as separate sentences and are connected with coordinating conjunctions.
একটি compound sentence এ কমপক্ষে দুটি independent clause থাকে যারা পৃথক sentence হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হতে পারে এবং coordinating conjunction দিয়ে  যুক্ত থাকে ।
Such as: Listening to music and singing songs are my hobbies.
On the other hand, a simple sentence is characterized by only one independent clause and no dependent clause.
Such as: Listening to music is my hobby.
The rules for transforming compound sentence to simple sentence are discussed below.
Compound sentence কে simple sentence এ রূপান্তরিত করার নিয়ম নীচে বর্ণিত হলো ।

Rule 1:
If the compound sentence is stating that a person is doing two things one after another and join them with a conjunction-“and”; then while transforming it into simple, “ing” will be added to the first verb; thus the first clause will be shortened and tense will be same as the second clause.
যদি compound sentence এ বোঝানো হয় যে কেউ দুটো কাজ করছে, একটি আগে ও আরেকটি পরে এবং “and” conjunction দিয়ে যুক্ত থাকে, তবে simple sentence  রূপান্তরিত করার সময়
প্রথম verb এর সাথে “ing” যোগ করে প্রথম clause টিকে সংক্ষিপ্ত করা হয় এবং দ্বিতীয় clause এর
Tense ব্যবহৃত হয় ।
Compound: I went there and met her.
Simple: Going there I met her.
Compound: She will go to the office and will do the work.
Simple: Going to the office she will do the work.
Compound: She will go to the theater and watch the play.
Simple: Going to the theater she will watch the play.

Rule 2:
If the compound sentence has “not only..….but also”, the simple sentence will use “besides being.”
Compound sentence এ “not only..….but also” থাকলে, simple sentence এ “besides being” ব্যবহার করা হবে।
Compound: The girl is not only beautiful but also intelligent.
Simple: Besides being beautiful the girl is intelligent.
Compound: She is not only a brilliant student but also a good singer.
Simple: Besides being a brilliant student she is a good singer.
Compound: He is not only a good writer but also an outstanding lecturer.
Simple: Besides being a good writer he is an outstanding lecturer.

Rule 3:
If the compound sentence has the conjunction “but” joining the two different clauses, the simple sentence will use “in spite of” at the beginning following my/his/her according to the person+ noun form of the adjective of the subordinate clause + main clause.
যদি compound sentence এ conjunction “but” দিয়ে দুটো ভিন্ন clause যুক্ত থাকে, তবে simple sentence এ শুরুতে “in spite of”, এর পরে  person অনুযায়ী my/his/her + subordinate clause এর adjective এর noun form + main clause ব্যবহার করা হবে।
Compound: The book was long but interesting.
Simple: In spite of being long the book was interesting.
Compound: He was ill, but he came for rehearsal.
Simple: In spite of his illness he came for rehearsal.

Rule 4:
If the compound sentence has this structure, ”the person must do….or/otherwise, the person will not…..”, the simple sentence will follow this structure, “ person must do….to + the result/outcome of doing the work.
যদি compound sentence এই structure follow করে, ”person must do….or/otherwise person will not…..” , তবে simple sentence এই structure follow করবে, “ person must do….to + কাজটি করার ফলাফল ।
Compound: You must study hard or/otherwise, you will not get good marks in the exam.
Simple: You must study hard to get good marks in the exam.
Compound: He must run fast or/otherwise, he will not win the race.
Simple: He must run fast to win the race.

Rule 5:
If the compound sentence follows this structure, ”person must (do)….or/otherwise person will + verb’s simple form…..” or , ”person must do…...or/otherwise person will be + verb’s past participle form, the simple sentence will follow this structure, ”person must (do)….to escape/avoid……”.
যদি compound sentence এই structure follow করে, ”person must (do)….or/otherwise person will + verb এর simple form…..” or , ”person must do…...or/otherwise person will be + verb এর past participle form, simple sentence এই structure follow করবে, ”person must (do)….to escape/avoid……”।
Compound: You must practice hard or/otherwise, you will lose the game.
Simple: You must practice hard to escape losing the game.
Compound: He must work hard or/otherwise, he will be suspended.
Simple: He must work hard to avoid suspension.
Compound: The thief must run away or/otherwise, he will be beaten.
Simple: The thief must run away to avoid being beaten.

Rule 6:
If the compound sentence first states a cause behind a work, then join the result or outcome with a conjunction “and ”, the simple sentence will follow this structure, “ Being + adjective (cause)+ main clause.
যদি compound sentence প্রথমে কোনো কাজ করার কারণ উল্লেখ করে, কাজ করার ফলাফলকে conjunction “and ” দিয়ে যুক্ত করে, তবে simple sentence এই structure follow করবে, “ Being + adjective (কারণ)+ main clause।
Compound: He was guilty, and he ran away.
Simple: Being guilty he ran away.
Compound: He was very happy, and he started to dance.
Simple: Being so happy he started to dance.

Rule 7:
If the compound sentence contains the conjunction “so”/”therefore”  having the cause before it and the result after it, the simple sentence will have “for” having the result before it and cause after it.
 যদি compound sentence এ “so”/”therefore”  থাকে এবংএর আগে কারণ ও পরে কাজ করার ফলাফল থাকে, তবে simple sentence এ “for” থাকবে এবং এর আগে কোন কাজ করার ফলাফল ও পরে কারণ থাকবে।
Compound: He worked hard, so the boss praised him.
Compound: He worked hard, and therefore the boss praised him.
Simple: The boss praised him for his hard work.
In the above sentence, the result is “the praising of boss”, and the cause is “his(a person’s) hard work”.
Compound: The singer’s voice is sweet, so she is very popular among people.
Compound: The singer’s voice is sweet therefore she is very popular among people.
Simple: The singer is very popular among people for her sweet voice.

Rule 8:
If the compound sentence has the conjunction “and” having the result/outcome before it and the cause/reason after it, the simple sentence will use “to” all other things being the same.
যদি compound sentence এ conjunction “and” ব্যবহার করে এর আগে কোন কাজ করার ফলাফল
 ও পরে কারণ থাকে, তবে simple sentence এ “to” ব্যবহার হবে ও বাকি সবকিছু একই থাকবে।
Compound: She came here and met me.
Simple: She came here to meet me.
Simple: She studied hard to get good marks.
Compound: She studied hard and got good marks.

Rule 9:
If the compound sentence follows this structure, “person must not be+ adjective + or/otherwise + person will not be…….”, the simple sentence will use “In the event of being” in the beginning + adjective+ main clause.
যদি compound sentence এই structure follow করে, “person must not be+ adjective + or/otherwise + person will not be…….”, simple sentence শুরুতে “In the event of being”+ adjective+ main clause ব্যবহার করবে ।
Compound: You must not be late or/ otherwise you will not be allowed to participate in the meeting.
