Questions & Answers about انگار اضافهبار باعث شد که یک اتصالی در کابلها اتفاق افتاده باشد.
Why can't we use the simple past اتفاق افتاد if the short circuit already happened?
The structure باعث شدن + که (to cause that) always requires a subjunctive verb in the resulting clause. Because the causation is in the past (باعث شد) and there is a strong element of deduction introduced by انگار (it seems), the Past Subjunctive اتفاق افتاده باشد is required here.
How is the Past Subjunctive اتفاق افتاده باشد formed?
It is formed by taking the past participle of the main verb (اتفاق افتاده) and adding the present subjunctive of بودن (to be), which in this case is the third-person singular باشد.
Is the ی at the end of اتصالی the indefinite article, since the English translation says a short circuit?
No, the indefinite a is provided by the word یک right before it. The ی is a suffix that changes the base noun اتصال (connection) into the specific electrical term اتصالی (short circuit).
Does the compound noun اضافهبار use an ezafe to connect its two parts?
No, اضافهبار (overload) is formed by directly joining اضافه (extra) and بار (load) without an ezafe. In Farsi, when two words merge completely into a single fixed compound noun like this, the ezafe is dropped.
