Questions & Answers about دانشجو پنجره را میبندد.
Why is the word را placed right after پنجره?
The word را is a marker that shows پنجره (window) is the definite direct object of the sentence. Since the student is closing a specific window, we must put را immediately after it.
What would happen if we wanted to say that the student closes an unspecified window?
If the window was not specific, meaning just any window instead of the specific window we are talking about, we would drop را. The marker را is only used for definite objects.
Why is the verb میبندد at the very end of the sentence?
In Farsi, the standard word order is Subject-Object-Verb. The subject doing the action (دانشجو) comes first, the thing being acted upon (پنجره را) comes in the middle, and the verb (میبندد) always goes at the very end.
What does the می part at the beginning of میبندد do?
The prefix می shows that the action is happening in the present tense. It tells us that the student closes or is currently closing the window.
