Questions & Answers about من هر روز ورزش می‌کنم و دوستان جدید پیدا می‌کنم.

How are the two compound verbs in this sentence formed?
Both ورزش می‌کنم and پیدا می‌کنم use the helper verb کردن (to do). They pair a non-verb word like ورزش (sport/exercise) or پیدا (found/visible) with the present tense of the helper verb, می‌کنم (I do). In compound verbs, only the helper verb changes to match the subject.
How do we link the words to say 'new friends', and why is the adjective placed after the noun?
It is pronounced dustan-e jadid. In Farsi, adjectives come after the noun they describe. They are glued together by an invisible 'e' sound called the ezafe. This connects the noun دوستان (friends) to the adjective جدید (new).
Why does the word for friends end in ان instead of the usual plural ending ها?
While ها can make almost any noun plural, nouns referring to people or living things can also use the ending ان (an). So دوستان and دوست‌ها both mean friends, but دوستان is the version used here and sounds slightly more formal or polite.
Do I need to repeat من (I) before the second verb?
No, you can safely leave it out. Because both verbs end with the first-person suffix م (m), it is completely clear that you are doing both actions. The single من at the very beginning covers both halves of the sentence.
