### Causing an Effect: باعث شدن

To express that one action or condition causes a specific outcome, Farsi uses the compound verb **باعث شدن** (literally: "to become the cause").

When you want to connect a cause to an action-based effect (e.g., "causes you to get injured"), you follow **باعث شدن** with the conjunction **که** (that) and a clausal complement. Because the outcome is dependent on the cause, the verb in this resulting clause must take the subjunctive mood.

[Cause] + **باعث می‌شود که** + [Effect Clause with Subjunctive Verb]

Let's look at this structure using vocabulary related to office ergonomics and posture:

{{item:817216}}

### Past Tense Causes

If the causing event happened in the past, simply conjugate **باعث شدن** in the past tense (such as **باعث شد** or **باعث شدند**).

Even when the cause is in the past, the resulting verb in the **که** clause generally remains in the present subjunctive, as it describes the action that was triggered.

### Giving Advice and Asking Questions

You will often see this structure combined with commands, questions, and statements about prevention to discuss the consequences of good and bad habits. Notice how the core grammar remains exactly the same:
