常见错误

In Bengali, the adverb of manner should come before the verb, not after it.

Wrong: আমি যাই দ্রুত। (I go fast.)
正确: আমি দ্রুত যাই। (I fast go.)

Time adverbs are best placed at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis.

Wrong: সে এখানে আসে পরে। (He comes here later.)
正确: সে পরে এখানে আসে। (He later here comes.)

Adverbs modify verbs. Ensure you have a clear verb or action noun present.

Wrong: সে দ্রুত করে। (He does fast.)
正确: সে দ্রুত কাজ করে। (He works fast.)
