Compound verbs consist of two parts: a non-verbal word (like a noun) and a "light" verb (like **کردن**). To form the future tense, Farsi splits these components. The conjugated auxiliary verb (**خواستن**) sits exactly *between* the non-verbal part and the short infinitive of the light verb.

**[Non-verbal part]** + **[Conjugated auxiliary]** + **[Short infinitive]**

Let's look at the compound verb for "to test":

{{item:777190}}

To say "we will test", take the non-verbal part (**آزمایش**), add the "we" form of the auxiliary (**خواهیم**), and finish with the short infinitive of the light verb (**کرد**).

{{item:777207}}

The auxiliary verb changes depending on the subject, while the light verb remains as the static short infinitive (**کرد**). Here is the "they" form:

{{item:777191}}

### More Examples

This same rule applies to all compound verbs, such as **درمان کردن** (to treat / to cure) and **تحقیق کردن** (to research). Observe how the auxiliary verb steps into the middle of the compound:
