Ago/back; before/earlier

 

Ago/back/before/earlier- সবগুলোই "পূর্বে/আগে" বুঝায়! কিন্তু grammatically অনেক পার্থক্য রয়েছে। 

📘Before সাধারণত Past simple/ Present perfect এবং Past perfect এর ক্ষেত্রে ব্যবহৃত হয় কিন্তু ago কেবল Past simple এ ব্যবহৃত হয় কিন্তু বাক্যে বসার ক্ষেত্রে পার্থক্য রয়েছে :

I have never met Era before.

(আমি এর আগে কখনো ইরার সাথে দেখা করিনি)

I came here 1 hour ago.

(আমি এক ঘন্টা আগে এসেছি)

I came here 1 hour before. ❌

I have never met Irfan ago. ❌

✏️নির্দিষ্ট সময় আগে বুঝালে ago/ back. 

I met her 10 years ago.

✏️ নির্দিষ্ট সময় উল্লেখ না থাকলে before/earlier.

Difference between AGO, BACK, And BEFORE, Earlier

📘Ago and back (informal) are used for past times from the present moment:

1. She graduated from Dhaka University ten years ago.

(ten years in the past from today)

2. We sent the package three days ago.

(three days in the past from today)

3 I moved here about six years back.

(informal – six years in the past from today)

📘Before and earlier are used for past times from another time in the past.

Here are some examples:

1. Yesterday I missed my train. I got to the train station at 8:10, but the train had left ten minutes before. (or ten minutes earlier)

(= at 8:00, ten minutes before 8:10 yesterday)

2. He was very happy when he got this job last July, because he had lost his previous job six months before. (or six months earlier).

(= six months before last June)

📘The definition of ago is simply, 'before the present,' whereas the definition of before is, ' the period of time that precede a particular event, date or time. ' One is a difference of time, the other is a difference of place in time.
