Questions & Answers about تذکر داده شد که پناه دادن به مجرمان غیرقانونی است.
How does the passive transformation work in تذکر داده شد?
The active compound verb is تذکر دادن (to warn/remind). Following this lesson's rule, we take the active light verb دادن, change it to its past participle داده, and add the auxiliary verb شدن. Here, it's conjugated in the 3rd-person singular past tense as شد, creating the impersonal passive phrase 'it was warned.'
Why is the full infinitive پناه دادن used in the middle of the sentence?
In Farsi, infinitives are frequently used as gerunds (verbal nouns). Here, پناه دادن translates to 'giving refuge' or 'sheltering' and acts as the subject of the second clause: 'giving refuge to criminals is illegal.'
What determines the use of the preposition به before مجرمان?
The compound verb پناه دادن (to give shelter) naturally pairs with the preposition به (to) to introduce the recipient of the shelter. It literally translates as 'giving refuge to' someone.
Is مجرمان an Arabic plural?
Not exactly. While مجرم (criminal) is an Arabic loanword, it takes the native Persian plural suffix ان- (-ân) here, which is standard for animate nouns (living things). You might also encounter its Arabic plural form مجرمین in formal contexts, but both are correct and widely used.
