Questions & Answers about دانشمند دارد دربارهی سلول تحقیق میکند.
How do we form the present continuous ("is researching") for a compound verb like تحقیق کردن?
We use the auxiliary verb داشتن (to have). For "the scientist" (he/she), we use دارد. This auxiliary is placed early in the sentence, while the main compound verb, تحقیق میکند, goes at the very end. The rest of the sentence is sandwiched between them.
How would I change this sentence to the future tense ("will research") to match this lesson's topic?
To make the future tense of a compound verb, you drop the continuous marker دارد, remove the می prefix from the main verb, and use the future auxiliary خواستن. For the third person singular, you place خواهد before the short infinitive. So, دارد تحقیق میکند changes to the future تحقیق خواهد کرد.
Why is there an extra ی at the end of درباره (about)?
The word درباره (about) needs to be linked to the noun that follows it, سلول (cell), using the Ezāfe connector. Because درباره ends in a silent "h" sound, the Ezāfe takes the form of a "ye" sound, written here as ی.
What makes up the word دانشمند (scientist)?
It comes from دانش (knowledge), which is related to the verb دانستن (to know). The suffix مند means "having" or "possessing". Therefore, a دانشمند is literally someone who possesses knowledge.
