Questions & Answers about با اینکه کانال جدید است، دارد تظاهرات را پوشش میدهد.
How do we form the present progressive 'is covering' in this sentence?
We use the auxiliary verb dârad (from dâshtan, to have) along with the present continuous verb mi-dahad (from dâdan, to give). Notice how they bookend the phrase! In Farsi, the auxiliary dârad often sits earlier in the clause, while the main verb mi-dahad stays at the very end.
Why is the direct object marker râ placed after tazâhorât instead of after poushesh?
The verb here is the compound verb poushesh dâdan (literally to give coverage). The direct object receiving the action is tazâhorât (demonstrations). Because râ marks the specific direct object, it goes directly after tazâhorât, leaving poushesh right next to its verb partner mi-dahad.
Does the conjunction bâ in-ke (even though) require the subjunctive mood?
No, it doesn't. Because bâ in-ke introduces a factual statement (despite the fact that the channel is new), it is followed by the normal indicative mood. That is why the verb is just the simple present ast rather than a subjunctive form like bâshad.
How is the word tazâhorât (demonstrations) made plural?
It uses the suffix -ât, which is a plural ending borrowed from Arabic. You will see this suffix attached to many formal, journalistic, or abstract nouns in Farsi.
