Questions & Answers about محدودیتی که برای این جاده اعلام شده است، موقت است.
How is the present perfect passive formed in اعلام شده است?
The active compound verb is اعلام کردن (to announce). To make it passive, we replace the action verb کردن (to do) with the passive helper شدن (to become), making it اعلام شدن (to be announced). To form the present perfect tense ('has been announced'), we take the past participle of this passive verb (اعلام شده) and add است.
Why is there an ی at the end of محدودیتی?
The ی at the end of محدودیت (restriction) acts as an indefinite article, meaning 'a restriction'. In Farsi, when a noun is followed by که (that/which) for a descriptive clause, it is incredibly common to attach this indefinite ی to the noun to set up the phrase.
Could I just use the simple past اعلام شد instead of اعلام شده است here?
اعلام شد means 'was announced' (simple past). Here, we use the present perfect اعلام شده است ('has been announced') because the restriction is still active and highly relevant to the present situation. The present perfect connects the past announcement directly to its current temporary status.
Why does the word است appear twice in this sentence?
They belong to two completely different clauses. The first است is a helper verb that completes the present perfect passive inside the 'that' clause (اعلام شده است). The second is the main verb of the overall sentence, linking the long subject to the adjective (temporary).
