Questions & Answers about با این کرم، به چین و چروک رسیدگی می‌شود.

Why is the verb singular (می‌شود) when the English translation says wrinkles are?
This is the impersonal passive at work. The active verb رسیدگی کردن requires the preposition به. In Farsi, when making a prepositional verb passive, its object (چین و چروک) cannot become the subject. The sentence structure becomes impersonal (literally meaning 'it is attended to wrinkles'), so the verb must stay in the default third-person singular (می‌شود).
Could we drop the به and just say چین و چروک رسیدگی می‌شود?
No, the به is mandatory because it is an essential part of the verb رسیدگی کردن به (to attend to / take care of). In impersonal passives, the preposition never disappears; it must remain intact and attached to its object.
Why isn't چین و چروک pluralized as چین و چروک‌ها?
چین و چروک is a compound noun (literally meaning crease and wrinkle) that is usually used collectively to mean wrinkles in general. While چین و چروک‌ها is grammatically fine, the singular form is very natural when talking about the uncountable concept of wrinkles rather than specific, individual lines.
Could I use رسیدگی کردن به to say I am taking care of a sick relative?
No, this verb is for attending to matters, tasks, or physical maintenance (like reviewing a file, fixing a problem, or treating skin). For looking after a person or an animal, you would use a verb like مراقبت کردن از instead.
