Questions & Answers about قبل از اینکه سند را امضا کنی، ممکن است بازرس داراییها را بررسی کرده باشد.
How is 'might have checked' formed in this sentence?
It uses the Present Perfect Subjunctive to show a possibility that happened before now. It is built using ممکن است (it is possible) followed by the past participle of the verb, بررسی کرده (checked), and the subjunctive helper verb باشد (he/she/it be).
Why is the first verb, امضا کنی (you sign), in the subjunctive form?
In Farsi, the phrase قبل از اینکه (before) always triggers the subjunctive mood for the verb that follows it. Even though signing the document is something that will happen later, you must use the present subjunctive امضا کنی rather than a future tense.
How does a compound verb like بررسی کردن (to check) change in the Present Perfect Subjunctive?
With compound verbs, the first word (بررسی) stays exactly the same. Only the verbal part (کردن) changes. It turns into the past participle کرده and teams up with the subjunctive ending باشد, giving us بررسی کرده باشد.
What does the ها do in داراییها, and why is it followed by را?
دارایی means asset or wealth. The ها is the standard Farsi plural marker, turning it into داراییها (assets). Because these specific assets are the direct object receiving the action of being checked, the specific object marker را is required right after it.
