Questions & Answers about از اینکه گیاهان در رطوبت زیاد بپوسند نگران هستم.
Why is از اینکه at the very beginning of the sentence instead of next to نگران هستم?
Farsi word order is quite flexible. While you will often see the adjective phrase (نگران هستم) come first followed by از اینکه and its clause, you can also put the entire از اینکه clause at the beginning. Doing this emphasizes the thing you are worried about. Both structures are perfectly natural in Farsi!
Why is the verb for rot in the subjunctive form, بپوسند, instead of the regular present tense?
The clause introduced by از اینکه describes a fear or a future possibility, rather than something that is definitely happening right now. Because you are expressing a hypothetical situation that you are worried about, Farsi requires the subjunctive form بپوسند to show that uncertainty.
Could I just use که instead of از اینکه for this adjectival complement?
Yes, you could reorder the sentence and just use که. However, the adjective نگران (worried) naturally pairs with the preposition از (about). Using از اینکه acts as a bridge that literally means 'about the fact that.' This makes the grammatical connection between your worry and the cause much stronger and is exactly how native speakers build these complements.
How is the verb بپوسند formed here?
The infinitive for 'to rot' is پوسیدن. To build the present subjunctive, you take the present stem پوس, add the subjunctive prefix بـ to the beginning, and attach the third-person plural ending ـَند for 'they' (referring to the plants). This gives us بپوسند.
