Questions & Answers about قرار است که مدیر در همایش شرکت کند.
Why is the verb شرکت کند in the subjunctive instead of the normal present tense?
This sentence uses the impersonal expression قرار است (it is planned / supposed to). Because this expresses an expectation or a plan rather than a realized fact, the verb that follows must be in the present subjunctive form (شرکت کند instead of the indicative شرکت میکند).
Why does the subject مدیر (the manager) come after که?
قرار است is an impersonal phrase, meaning it does not take a personal subject like 'the manager'. It literally means 'It is planned'. The word که (that) connects it to the actual event. So, the structure is 'It is planned that the manager...', putting مدیر inside the second clause.
Is شرکت کند a compound verb? What does it literally mean?
Yes, it comes from the compound infinitive شرکت کردن (to participate). The word شرکت means 'participation' (it can also mean 'company' or 'corporation' in other contexts). So, شرکت کند literally translates to 'does participation'.
I learned that جلسه means 'meeting'. How is همایش different?
While جلسه is a general word for a 'meeting' or 'session', همایش is a larger or more formal event. It specifically translates to 'conference', 'convention', or 'seminar'.
Can I drop the word که in this sentence?
Yes! In spoken or casual Farsi, the connecting word که is very frequently dropped. You will often hear sentences like this pronounced simply as قرار است مدیر در همایش شرکت کند without changing the meaning.
