Questions & Answers about من از محیط زیست محافظت کردم و آن را نابود نخواهم کرد.
How is the negative future tense formed in نابود نخواهم کرد?
For compound verbs like نابود کردن (to destroy), the negative future is made by keeping the non-verbal part first (نابود), then adding the negative present form of the helper verb خواستن (which is نخواهم for 'I will not'), and finally adding the short infinitive of the doing verb (کرد).
Why do we use از before محیط زیست? In English, we just say 'protect the environment'.
The Farsi compound verb محافظت کردن (to protect) requires the preposition از (from/of) to introduce the thing being protected. You can think of it literally as 'doing protection of' the environment.
What exactly does آن را refer to, and why is the را there?
آن (it/that) refers back to محیط زیست (the environment). Because 'it' is a specific, known thing receiving the action of the second verb (being destroyed), we must follow it with the specific direct object marker را.
How does the phrase محیط زیست break down?
محیط means surroundings or environment, and زیست means life or living. They are linked by an invisible 'e' sound (the ezafe) to mean 'environment of life', which is the standard Farsi term for the natural environment.
