Questions & Answers about آیا بیمار را درمان خواهید کرد؟
How do we form the future tense of a compound verb like درمان کردن?
In Farsi, compound verbs split in the future tense. The conjugated future auxiliary (in this case, خواهید for "you") goes right between the non-verbal first part of the compound (درمان) and the main verb (کرد).
Why is the last word کرد instead of a conjugated form like کنید or کردید?
In the future tense, the main verb always takes the form of the short infinitive, which looks exactly like the past stem. It never changes to match the subject. All the matching for "you" is handled by the auxiliary word خواهید.
Why do we need the word را after بیمار?
را marks a definite direct object. Since the sentence is asking about "the patient" (a specific sick person being treated) and not just "a patient" in general, we must use را right after the noun.
Is the word آیا required to ask this question?
No, آیا is mostly used in formal or written Farsi to clearly signal a yes/no question. In everyday spoken Farsi, you can just drop it and use a rising tone of voice at the end of the sentence.
