Questions & Answers about صاحبخانه قرارداد را امضا کرده است.
How is the present perfect tense "has signed" formed in امضا کرده است?
It is formed by taking the past participle of the compound verb امضا کردن (to sign), which is امضا کرده, and adding the third-person singular "to be" verb است (is).
Why is است written as a separate word here, instead of being attached like the other present perfect endings?
In the present perfect tense, most endings are short and attach to the past participle (like امضا کردهام for "I have signed"). However, the third-person singular (he/she/it) is an exception and always uses the separate full word است.
Why is the word را used right after قرارداد (contract)?
را is the specific direct object marker. Because the landlord signed "the" contract (a specific one that the speaker and listener already know about) rather than just "a" contract, we must add را directly after the noun.
How do the parts of the word صاحبخانه translate to "landlord"?
It is a compound noun made up of صاحب (owner or master) and خانه (house). Combined, they literally mean "house owner".
