Questions & Answers about در کارگاه کار کردید تا کوره سرد شد.
Why is the second verb sard shod in the simple past instead of the subjunctive?
When tâ means "until" and connects to an event that has already happened as a fact, it takes an indicative tense like the simple past. Because the kiln actually did cool down, we use the simple past sard shod. If you were telling someone to do something in the future, like "Wait until the kiln cools down," you would use the subjunctive.
How does sard shod mean "cooled down"?
It literally translates to "it became cold." Farsi frequently builds compound verbs by pairing an adjective like sard (cold) with the verb shodan (to become).
How do we know the sentence means "you" worked if the word shomâ isn't there?
Farsi often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action. The -id ending on kardid lets us know the subject is "you" (either plural or formal singular).
Does tâ always mean "until"?
Not always! tâ is a very flexible word. While it means "until" here, it can also mean "as soon as," "so that" (when used with the subjunctive), or it can act as a counting word for objects, like saying do tâ for "two of them."
