Questions & Answers about آیا زبالهها به بیرون برده خواهند شد؟
How is the future passive formed in برده خواهند شد?
It is built using the past participle of the main verb, which here is برده (taken), followed by the future form of the auxiliary verb شدن (to become). The future auxiliary itself is made by conjugating خواستن to match the subject (خواهند for third-person plural) and adding the shortened stem شد.
زبالهها (garbage) is an inanimate object. Why does it take the plural verb خواهند شد instead of the singular خواهد شد?
You have remembered a great rule: plural inanimate objects usually take singular verbs in Farsi! However, using a plural verb is not strictly wrong. It is often done in formal writing, which matches the formal tone of the future passive. In everyday spoken Farsi, you would more likely hear the singular خواهد شد.
Why is زبالهها plural when the English translation says garbage in the singular?
In English, words like garbage or trash are uncountable and therefore singular. In Farsi, زباله is a countable noun. When talking about the household trash as a whole, Farsi speakers naturally use the plural زبالهها to refer to the collection of items or bags.
Could I drop the preposition به and just say بیرون برده خواهند شد?
Yes, you can! While به بیرون literally means to the outside and is grammatically precise, native speakers very frequently drop به before directions like بیرون (outside) or (inside) in everyday communication.
