Q. 6. Let’s learn some grammar:

(a) Read the following two sentences :

(i) We will spend the night in our bhelaghar.

(ii) We’ll carry as much vegetables as posible.

Note the following:

(i) We can write ‘we will’ as ‘well’. (We will টো আমি  We’ll হিচাপে লিখিব পাৰোঁ ।

(ii) We’ll is a Sharter form of we will. We’ll টো  We will ৰ চমু গঠন )

Now rewrite the following sentences using the start form of will.

(i) Mahen said, “We will make a bhelaghar”.

(ii) They will spend the night in the bhelaghar.

(iii) Sanju thought, “When everyone is asleep, I will pick vegetables.

(iii) Sanju thought, “When everyone is asleep, I’ll pick vegetables”.

(iv) Muhen said, “We’ll help each other to cook the food.”

(v) They’ll have an Uruka adventure.

(b) Now read the following sentences:

(i) We’ll carry as much as possible in our hands.

(ii) I shall wait to see who comes to steal my vegetables.

Note the following :

We use words like will and shall to talk about something that is going to happen in the future. ( Will আৰু shall ৰ দৰে শব্দবোৰ আমি ভৱিষ্যতে ঘটিব লগা কোনো কথা ক‘বলৈ ব্যৱহাৰ কৰোঁ ।)

(c) Note the difference in meaning between the first two sentences and the third.

(i) We will spend the night in the bhelaghar.

(ii) We shall go and pick vegetables.

(d) Note the forms of negative sentences :

(i) We will not spend the night in the bhelaghar. (future time).

(ii) We didnot spend the night in the bhelaghar. (past time)

Rumon offered to cook the vegetables and the fish. Sanju and Nantu said that they would cook the rice, the lentils and the chicken. The five friends proposed that they would spend the entire night at Mahen’s compound.

As planned earlier, the five boys built a big shed using straw and bamboo. Rumon’s uncle helped them with the task. The boys joyfully cooked for the feast with a little supervision and help from Mahen’s mother. When the feast was over, Mahen commanded his friends to follow him on their nocturnal adventure. They made straight for Shantiram’s house at the and of the lane. The five friends tiptoed into his garden after crossing the nongola. Suddenly, they saw a black heap of garbage in the middle of the rows of vegetables. They thought it was inert and harmless. But when the boys stretched their hands to pick the vegetables, the hcap suddenly moved. To their utter horror, they discovered it was none other than Shantaram himself, covered in a black blanket.

Renu and Dipika cooked rice and meat, and I with my friends cooked eggs, fish and mixed veg soup. And we all sit together and eat the food.

After that the friends proposed that they would finish their feast early and go home. I commanded them to clean the Chang- Ghar first. Renu suggested that we not throw empty juice bottles here and there. While cleaning suddenly the wind blew heavily. We thought that it would rain tonight.
