Questions & Answers about بچهها باید داخل مدرسه مواظب باشند.
Why do we use bâshand at the end instead of hastand for "they are"?
This is because of the word bâyad (must). bâyad forces the main verb into a special form called the subjunctive. While hastand is the normal "they are", bâshand is the subjunctive form used after necessity words like "must".
Does the word bâyad change depending on who the subject is?
No, bâyad is an impersonal verb. This means it stays exactly the same no matter who is doing the action. Whether it is "I must" or "The children must" (bache-hâ bâyad), the word bâyad doesn't take any personal endings. Only the final verb (bâshand) changes to match "the children".
Where exactly does bâyad go in a Farsi sentence compared to the main verb?
It usually comes early in the sentence, right after the subject (bache-hâ). The main action verb (bâshand) still gets pushed to the very end of the sentence. All the other details, like "inside the school" and "careful", are sandwiched between them.
How do we connect dâkhel (inside) to madrese (school)?
You link them using the Ezafe (a short "e" sound). Even though it is not written in the Persian script here, you pronounce it as dâkhel-e madrese. This works just like saying "inside of the school" in English to connect a position to a noun.
