that

determiner/ðæt/CEFR A1

ওই, সেটি; যে

Meaning

Used for something further away; also to introduce a clause.

Example sentences

That house is very old.ওই বাড়িটি অনেক পুরনো।
He said that he would come.সে বলল যে সে আসবে।
This is the book that I lost.এটাই সেই বই যা আমি হারিয়েছিলাম।

A common mistake

He told that he is busy.→He said that he was busy.

tell-এর পরে ব্যক্তি লাগে — 'told me that'। আর মূল ক্রিয়া past হলে পরের clause-ও past হয় — 'said that he was'।
