Questions & Answers about او خودش این پروژه را کامل کرد و موفق شد.
Why does the sentence use خودش instead of just خود for "himself"?
When using خود to emphasize a subject pronoun (like "he himself"), you must attach the possessive ending that matches the subject. Since the subject is او (he), we add the third-person singular ending ـَش to make خودش.
Could I drop the word او at the beginning of the sentence?
Yes! You could just say خودش این پروژه را کامل کرد and it would still mean "He himself completed this project." Using both او and خودش together just makes the emphasis even stronger.
Why is را placed right after این پروژه?
The word را marks the definite direct object of the sentence. Because we are talking about a specific project (این پروژه), it is definite and needs را to show it is the thing being acted upon.
Why do the two compound verbs end differently, with کرد and شد?
They use different helper verbs based on their meaning. کامل کردن (to complete) uses کردن (to do/make) because he is actively making the project complete. موفق شدن (to succeed) uses شدن (to become) because he is entering a state of success.
