Questions & Answers about انسان روزی به مریخ خواهد رفت.
How is the future tense "will go" formed in this sentence?
It uses the auxiliary verb khâhad (the 3rd person singular present form of khâstan, meaning "to want") followed by raft (the short infinitive of raftan, meaning "to go"). Together, khâhad raft means "will go".
Why does the sentence use the singular ensân (human) when the English translation says "humans"?
In Farsi, you can use the singular noun ensân to refer to humanity or humans as a collective species, similar to how we say "mankind" in English. Because it acts as a singular collective subject, it takes the 3rd person singular verb khâhad.
What does the suffix at the end of ruzi (روزی) do?
The -i at the end of ruz (day) is the indefinite marker. It changes the meaning from "day" to "a day" or "one day".
Can I put words between khâhad and raft, similar to how we say "will one day go" in English?
No, in the Farsi future tense, the helper verb (khâhad) and the main verb (raft) must stay glued together at the very end of the sentence. Time expressions like ruzi (one day) must be placed earlier in the sentence.
