Questions & Answers about او میتواند هر عصر دوش بگیرد.
Why is asr (afternoon) in the singular form after har?
The word har means "every" or "each" and must always be followed by a singular noun. Just like we say "every afternoon" in English, Farsi uses the singular har asr, never the plural.
Why does the second verb use the be- prefix in begirad?
This is because of the word mi-tavānad (can). Whenever you use a modal verb like "can", "must", or "want to", the following verb has to be in the subjunctive mood. For most verbs, this means replacing the standard mi- prefix with be-. So migirad changes to begirad.
How does the verb for "taking a shower" work here?
It is a compound verb made of dush (a borrowed word for shower) and gereftan (to take). Farsi matches English exactly here: you "take" a shower! Because it is a compound verb, only the second part gets conjugated into the subjunctive form, making it dush begirad.
Is it normal for har asr to sit between the two verbs?
Yes! The modal verb mi-tavānad naturally sits close to the subject u, while the main verb phrase dush begirad goes at the very end of the sentence. Time phrases like har asr comfortably slot into the middle space between them.
