Questions & Answers about همه سندها باید به کجا فرستاده بشوند؟
How do we build the passive verb فرستاده بشوند here?
To form the present subjunctive passive, we take the past participle of the main verb, فرستاده (from فرستادن, to send), and add the present subjunctive of شدن (to become/be). Here, that is بشوند (they become).
Why is the helping verb in the subjunctive form (بشوند) rather than the normal present tense (میشوند)?
The word باید (must) always forces the verb that follows it into the subjunctive mood. Even though there are other words in between, باید is what changes the indicative میشوند into the subjunctive بشوند.
Do I need an Ezafe between همه (all) and سندها (documents)?
Yes! When همه means 'all of the' and directly precedes a noun, it requires the Ezafe. Because همه ends in a silent 'h', the Ezafe is pronounced with a 'ye' sound: hame-ye sanad-ha.
Since سندها (documents) is an inanimate plural subject, shouldn't the verb be singular?
Inanimate plural subjects in Farsi usually take a singular verb in everyday speech (which would be بشود here). However, using the plural verb (بشوند) is also grammatically correct and is often used in formal contexts or when emphasizing the distinct, individual items.
