Questions & Answers about آنها باید قلاب را دورتر از سنگها پرتاب کنند.
Why is the verb partâb konand in the subjunctive if there is no expression of hope in this sentence?
While this lesson introduces hoping, this sentence brings back bâyad (must). Words expressing necessity, like bâyad, trigger the present subjunctive for the exact same reason: they describe a desired or required action, rather than a factual event that is already happening.
How is the subjunctive formed for a compound verb like partâb kardan (to throw)?
For compound verbs, the first word (partâb) stays exactly the same, and only the light verb (kardan) changes. For 'they', it becomes konand. Notice that it doesn't have the usual be- prefix; kardan is a common exception that usually drops the be- in the subjunctive.
How does Farsi build the phrase 'further than'?
You add the suffix -tar to the adjective dur (far) to make the comparative durtar (further). Then, the word az (which usually means 'from') is used to mean 'than'. Together, durtar az means 'further than'.
Why do we need the word râ after qollâb (hook)?
The word râ is the specific direct object marker. Because the sentence is about casting a specific, known hook ('the hook'), râ is placed right after qollâb to show it is the direct target of the action.
