Questions & Answers about او هر هفته به شرکت میرود.
How is the verb میرود (mi-rav-ad) formed if the infinitive for 'to go' is رفتن (raftan)?
The present tense is formed by adding the prefix می (mi-) to the present stem, followed by a personal ending. While this lesson focuses on regular verbs, 'to go' is a common verb with an irregular present stem: رو (rav). To match the subject او (he), we add the 'he/she/it' ending ـَد (-ad), creating میرود (mi-rav-ad).
The translation says 'He goes', but could او (u) also mean 'She'?
Yes! Farsi pronouns do not have gender. او (u) means 'he' or 'she' depending entirely on the context. If we were talking about a woman, this exact same sentence would translate to 'She goes to the company every week.'
Why is هر هفته (har hafte) placed right after the subject?
Farsi follows a Subject-Object-Verb word order, meaning the verb (میرود) must go at the very end of the sentence. Time phrases like هر هفته (every week) typically come early in the sentence, right after the subject, which is different from English where they usually appear at the end.
Do we always need the preposition به (be) when saying we go 'to' a place?
Yes, when talking about moving toward a destination, you use the preposition به (be), meaning 'to'. In casual spoken Farsi, people sometimes drop it, but in writing and proper grammar, به شرکت (to the company) is the correct form.
