Questions & Answers about ما محیط زیست را آلوده نخواهیم کرد.
How is the negative future tense formed in the phrase نخواهیم کرد?
To make the negative future tense, we add the negative prefix نـ to the conjugated helper verb خواستن (to want). Since the subject is ما (we), it becomes نخواهیم. Then we add the short infinitive of the main verb, which is just the full infinitive without the final 'n'. For کردن, the short infinitive is کرد.
Why is the helper verb نخواهیم placed between آلوده and کرد?
The main verb here is the compound verb آلوده کردن (to pollute, literally 'to make polluted'). In the future tense, the helper verb always goes exactly between the first part of the compound verb (آلوده) and the short infinitive of the verbal part (کرد).
Why do we need the word را after محیط زیست?
را is the specific direct object marker. Because we are talking about a specific thing that receives the action of the verb (the environment we will not pollute), we must put را right after it.
How do the words in محیط زیست combine to mean 'environment'?
The word محیط means 'surroundings', and زیست means 'life'. They are linked by the hidden 'e' sound called Ezâfe, making محیط زیست literally mean 'surroundings of life'.
