Which one is the correct sentence?
ক) The doctor found my pulse.
খ) The doctor saw my pulse.
গ) The doctor examined my pulse.
ঘ) The doctor took my pulse.

ব্যাখ্যা

The standard English idiom for measuring a person’s heartbeat is “to take someone’s pulse”. Therefore, “The doctor took my pulse” is the most natural and correct sentence.

১. While a doctor might ‘examine’ a patient, they specifically ‘take’ the pulse.
২. ‘Saw’ and ‘found’ are semantically incorrect in the context of clinical pulse measurement.
৩. Correct collocations are essential for natural-sounding English in professional contexts.

অতিরিক্ত তথ্য: You can also say ‘feel someone’s pulse’.
