Questions & Answers about او چگونه به خانه میرود؟
Why is the question word چگونه in the middle of the sentence instead of at the beginning?
In Farsi, question words usually don't move to the front of the sentence like they do in English. Instead, they stay in the exact spot where the answer will go. If the answer was "by bus", it would go in that exact same spot: او با اتوبوس به خانه میرود (He goes home by bus).
The lesson mentioned چطور for "how", but this sentence uses چگونه. What is the difference?
Both words mean "how". چطور is much more common in everyday, spoken Farsi. چگونه means the exact same thing but is slightly more formal and often used in written Farsi. You could absolutely ask او چطور به خانه میرود؟ and it would mean the same thing.
Why is there a به (to) before خانه (home)? English just says "go home".
In English, "home" is a special word where we drop the "to". In Farsi, خانه behaves like any other normal place (like school, the park, or a store). You still need the preposition به (to) to show movement towards it.
How do we know او means "he" and not "she"?
We actually don't! Farsi pronouns are completely gender-neutral. او can mean "he" or "she" depending on who you are talking about. Without extra context, "How does she go home?" is a perfectly correct translation here too.
