Out of shame, Mr. Gupta wrote to them announcing his departure.

It was the symbol of her true love, sacrifice, and emotion for her brother as it was meant for the purchase of flowers to be showered on her brother’s grave. The cost of the shilling was beyond all prices. It was rare and of high value. Thus the shilling was an invaluable offering

Words that are not derived or developed from other words are called primary words.
(ମାଗି ଲେଖକଙ୍କୁ ଦେଇଥ‌ିବା ସିଲିଙ୍ଗ୍‌ଟି କାହିଁକି ଏକ ଅମୂଲ୍ୟ ଉପହାର ଥିଲା ?)
In other words, words having no suffixes or prefixes are primary words.
Example – Orange, right, fast, slow.
Compound words are formed noun to noun (moonlight, village bridge) adjective + noun (sweetheart), verb + noun (breakfast) gerund + noun (drawing room), preposition + noun (overcoat) noun + adjective (lifelong).

Compound words (ଯୌଗିକ ଶବ୍ଦ)are formed,
(i) noun + noun (moonlight, village bridge) (ବିଶେଷ + ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ)
(ii) adjective + noun (sweetheart) (ବିଶେଷଣ + ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ)
(iii) verb + noun (breakfast) (କ୍ରିୟାପଦ + ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ )
(iv) gerund + noun (drawing room) ( ଜିରଣ୍ଡ + ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ)
(v) preposition + noun (overcoat) (ବିଭକ୍ତିସୂଚକ ଅବ୍ୟୟ + ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ)
(vi) noun + adjective (lifelong) (ବିଭକ୍ତିସୂଚକ ଅବ୍ୟୟ + ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ)
By adding prefixes like mis, un, in, dis, it, anti, de, make the word negative and by adding suffixes we change the words from noun to adjective, adjective to verb, adjective to an adverb, and verb to noun. This is called derivation. Thus we find a family of words.

Derivation (ବ୍ୟୁତ୍ପତ୍ତି) – It is the name given to the process of making a new word from an old one (word) by the addition of some prefixes or suffixes.

i.e., poverty-stricken
In column ‘A’ there are the nouns and in column ‘B’ there are participles kept in a disordered manner. You are to match them and make compound adjectives. (The first noun becomes the adjective).
(‘କ’ ସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ତଳେ ଦିଆଯାଇଥିବା ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ ପଦ ସହିତ ‘ଖ’ ସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ତଳେ ଥିବା ଅସମାପିକା କ୍ରିୟାଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଯୋଗକରି ଯୌଗିକ ବିଶେଷଣ ଗଠନ କର ।)

Active and Passive Voice (କର୍ତ୍ତବାଚ୍ୟ ଓ କର୍ମବାଚ୍ୟ ) :
Much objective writing is done in the passive voice. For the passive voice we may use any one of the tenses. With each one we have to use the relevant tense of ‘be’ along with the past participle of the main verb.

Note: The present perfect progressive and past perfect progressive in the passive voice is very rarely used.
