### The Formal Passive Structure

While everyday passives often rely on **شدن** (to become), official and legal contexts use a more formal structure: **مورد** linked with an *ezafe* to an abstract or verbal noun, followed by **قرار گرفتن** (to undergo / be placed).

[Subject] + **موردِ** + [Verbal Noun] + **قرار گرفتن**

This translates to "undergoing [an action]" or "being subjected to [an action]." The verb **قرار گرفتن** carries the conjugation for the sentence.

{{item:821272}}

### Bureaucratic Verbal Nouns

The word following **موردِ** is always an abstract or verbal noun. Bureaucratic processes—such as grading, sampling, or destroying goods—are perfect candidates for this structure.

{{item:821289}}

### Modals and Tenses

Because this is built around the standard verb **گرفتن**, it follows all regular conjugation rules. For example, adding **باید** (must) requires the subjunctive (**قرار بگیرد**).

{{item:821274}}

It can also be conjugated into the simple past, or the perfect subjunctive (**قرار گرفته باشد**) to express that something "must have been" subjected to an action.

### Compounding Actions

To express multiple actions simultaneously, link the verbal nouns together with **و** (and) directly after **موردِ**.
