When asking about someone's profession in English, the standard idiom is 'What is your father?'. While 'What does your father do?' is also correct, the former is a classic structure for this specific question.
Explanation
The idiom 'cannot help + verb-ing' means one is unable to stop or resist doing something. In Bengali, this translates to 'আমি এটা না করে পারি না', indicating an unavoidable action.
Explanation
Optative sentences that express a wish, prayer, or blessing typically begin with 'May'. 'Bless' is the appropriate verb for divine favor, making 'May Allah bless you' the correct translation.
Explanation
The phrase 'খেয়ে বাঁচে' (survives by eating) is best translated as 'lives on'. Therefore, 'The cow lives on grass' is the most accurate translation, although 'eats grass' is logically true but less precise.

Explanation
The word 'এইমাত্র' (just/just now) with a completed action indicates the Present Perfect Tense. The correct structure is 'Subject + have/has + just + V3'. Thus, 'I have just received your letter' is correct.
