Questions & Answers about من بعد از اجرا بازیگران را میبینم.
Why do we need az in ba'd az ejrā? Can't I just say ba'd ejrā?
To say "after [a specific thing]", you must use the full preposition ba'd az (بعد از). If you just use ba'd (بعد) on its own, it acts as an adverb meaning "later" or "afterwards", but it cannot connect directly to a noun like "performance".
How is the plural for "actors" formed in this sentence?
The word is bāzigarān (بازیگران). It is made of bāzigar (بازیگر), meaning "actor", plus the plural ending -ān (ان). While you can make almost any word plural with -hā (ها), Farsi often uses -ān specifically for people, especially in writing or slightly more formal speech.
Why is rā (را) placed after the actors?
rā (را) is the specific object marker. Since you are talking about seeing the specific actors from the performance, they are the direct object of your action, so you need rā. If you simply meant "I see actors" in general, you would leave it out.
The action happens after the performance, so why is the present tense verb mibinam (میبینم) used?
mibinam translates to "I see" or "I am seeing". In Farsi, the present tense is very commonly used to talk about definite future plans. It is exactly like using the present continuous for future plans in English, such as saying "I am seeing the actors after the performance."
