### To be considered: محسوب شدن

In formal writing, news, or when discussing the properties of things—like the health benefits of a herbal infusion (**دمنوش**)—you will frequently encounter the compound verb **محسوب شدن** (to be considered / to be accounted).

Like most Farsi verbs, it is placed at the end of the clause. The noun or adjective that describes the subject sits immediately before it.

### To be counted as: به شمار رفتن

Another very common formal phrase with almost the exact same meaning is **به شمار رفتن**. Literally meaning "to go to count," it translates to "to be counted as" or "to be considered."

This verb is conjugated based on **رفتن** (to go). In the present tense for a "he/she/it" subject, you will see it as **به شمار می‌رود**.

### Using classification verbs in the Subjunctive

When these formal classifications are paired with words that express doubt or condition, such as **شاید** (perhaps) or **اگر** (if), they must shift into the subjunctive mood.

- For **محسوب شدن**, the present verb **می‌شود** drops its **می** prefix to become **شود**.
- For **به شمار رفتن**, the verb **می‌رود** swaps its **می** prefix for the subjunctive **ب** prefix to become **برود**.
