Questions & Answers about ای کاش به جوش و چین و چروک بیشتر رسیدگی شده بود.
Why is there a به in front of جوش و چین و چروک if they are the things being taken care of?
This is the impersonal passive of a prepositional verb. The active verb رسیدگی کردن (to attend to / take care of) requires the preposition به. When you make it passive, the object (جوش و چین و چروک) keeps its preposition, and the verb simply stays in the default third-person singular (شده بود).
Why does this sentence use the past perfect (رسیدگی شده بود) after ای کاش (I wish)?
The phrase ای کاش uses the past perfect to express regret about a past event that didn't happen (an unfulfilled past wish). If you were wishing for something to happen in the present or future, you would use the subjunctive tense instead.
What is the difference between چین and چروک?
Both words mean crease, fold, or wrinkle. Putting them together as چین و چروک is a common paired phrase (similar to 'aches and pains' in English) used specifically for skin wrinkles to make the description sound more complete and natural.
Could بیشتر (more) be placed before the nouns instead of right before the verb?
Yes, but it would change the meaning slightly. Here, بیشتر modifies the verb phrase, meaning the action of taking care should have happened more intensely or frequently. If you said به بیشتر جوش و..., it would mean taking care of a larger quantity of pimples and wrinkles.
