Questions & Answers about سه‌شنبه به مدرسه می‌روم.

Why isn't there a word for 'on' before Tuesday?
In Farsi, you don't need a preposition like 'on' before days of the week. You just state the name of the day, so سه‌شنبه by itself naturally translates to 'on Tuesday' in this context.
Where is the word for 'I' in this sentence?
The pronoun 'I' (من) is often left out in Farsi because the end of the verb already tells you who is doing the action. The ـم suffix at the end of می‌روم means 'I', so an extra pronoun is not strictly needed.
Why is the verb می‌روم at the very end?
Farsi sentences generally follow a Subject-Object-Verb order. This means the action word almost always comes at the end of the sentence, so می‌روم (I go) is placed after the destination به مدرسه (to school).
What does the می‌ part do at the beginning of the verb?
The prefix می‌ (mi-) is the marker for the present tense in Farsi. It tells you that the action is habitual (something you do regularly, like going to school) or continuous (something happening right now).
