আপনি fluently বলছেন, vocabulary ভালো, accent clear —
তবুও Band stuck হয়ে আছে 6 বা 6.5-এ? 😩
চিন্তা নেই — problem fluency না, grammar accuracy!
IELTS examiner fluency দেখার পাশাপাশি evaluate করে Grammatical Range & Accuracy (25%).
আজকে চলুন দেখি সেই ৫টা common grammar mistake যা প্রায় সব Bangladeshi IELTS student করে ফেলে —
আর সাথে শিখে ফেলি কিভাবে সহজে ঠিক করা যায় 💪
❌ Mistake 1: Tense Mix-Up (Past–Present Confusion)
IELTS-এ tense consistency খুব important। অনেক সময় আমরা গল্প বলতে গিয়ে tense গুলায় গুলিয়ে ফেলি।
🔹 Example (Wrong):
“Last year I go to Cox’s Bazar with my family.” ❌
✅ Correct:
“Last year I went to Cox’s Bazar with my family.”
👉 যখন past incident বলছেন, সব verb past form হবে।
💡 Tip:
Story বললে tense follow করুন —
- Past tense → for experiences
- Present tense → for habits
- Future tense → for plans
📘 Cue Card Example:
“When I was a child, I used to play cricket every evening.”
❌ Mistake 2: Subject–Verb Disagreement
এটা Bangladeshi students-এর classic mistake 😅
Subject singular হলে verb-এ ‘s’ বা ‘es’ যোগ হয় — plural হলে না।
🔹 Example (Wrong):
“He go to university every day.” ❌
✅ Correct:
“He goes to university every day.”
আর plural subject হলে:
“They go to university every day.” ✅
💬 Quick Tip:
Always check “Who is doing the action?” → verb must match.
🧩 Practice:
My brother ____ (play/plays) football every Friday.
✅ Answer: plays
❌ Mistake 3: Article Misuse (a, an, the)
Articles নিয়ে confusion প্রায় সব IELTS student-এর আছে!
Specially when to use “the.”
🔹 Example (Wrong):
“I visited Sundarbans last year.”
✅ Correct: “I visited the Sundarbans last year.”
“I have a umbrella.” ❌
✅ “I have an umbrella.”
🧠 Basic Rule Recap:
- “a” → before consonant sound (a book, a car)
- “an” → before vowel sound (an apple, an idea)
- “the” → for specific things (the Padma Bridge, the Internet)
💬 Pro Tip:
In IELTS answers, use “the” for unique or known things — examiner notices accuracy!
❌ Mistake 4: Preposition Confusion (in / on / at / to)
Bangladeshi students প্রায়ই preposition miss করে বা Banglish follow করে।
🔹 Common Wrong Examples:
| Wrong | Correct |
|---|---|
| I’m waiting for you since morning. ❌ | I’ve been waiting for you since morning. ✅ |
| She is good in English. ❌ | She is good at English. ✅ |
| I prefer tea than coffee. ❌ | I prefer tea to coffee. ✅ |
| He lives in Dhaka city. ✅ (Correct!) |
💬 Trainer Tip:
Practice prepositions with full expressions, not single words.
For example: interested in, good at, depend on, afraid of.
🧩 Cue Card Example:
“I’m really interested in learning new languages.”
❌ Mistake 5: Overusing Simple Sentences (No Complex Variety)
IELTS examiner চায় আপনি range দেখান — শুধু simple sentence না, compound বা complex mix করুন।
🔹 Example (Basic):
“I like reading books. It is my hobby.” ❌
✅ Improved (Complex):
“I like reading books because it helps me relax after a long day.”
🔹 Example (Another Way):
“My father is the person who inspired me the most.”
📘 Complex sentence মানে perfect grammar + natural connection.
এগুলো ব্যবহার করলে examiner বুঝবে আপনি confident English speaker।
🇧🇩 Bonus: Common Banglish Grammar Mistakes
| Banglish Sentence | Correct Version | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| I am agree with you. | I agree with you. | ‘Agree’ is a verb, not adjective. |
| I am reading in Dhaka University. | I study at Dhaka University. | Use ‘study at’ for institution. |
| I didn’t saw him. | I didn’t see him. | After ‘did’, base form verb only. |
| She told that she is tired. | She said that she was tired. | Tense change in reported speech. |
| He can’t able to do it. | He can’t do it. | ‘Can’ already shows ability. |
💬 Remember: Examiner often deducts marks when Banglish patterns appear in fluent speech. Practice daily to avoid them!
