In this lesson, we will learn how to conjugate regular verbs in the present tense in Iranian Persian. We will also learn how to make simple statements in the affirmative, negative, and interrogative form using the present tense. This is an important aspect of Iranian Persian grammar and will greatly enhance your ability to communicate in Persian. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to form basic present tense sentences and engage in simple conversations with native Persian speakers. Let's get started!
== Conjugation of Regular Verbs in the Present Tense ==
 
In Iranian Persian, regular verbs are conjugated differently depending on the subject of the sentence. The present tense conjugation of regular verbs involves adding specific suffixes to the verb stem. These suffixes indicate the subject and number of the verb.
 
To conjugate regular verbs in the present tense, follow these steps:
 
1. Identify the verb stem: The verb stem is the base form of the verb without any suffixes. For example, the verb "to speak" in the stem form is "goft-".
 
2. Add the appropriate suffix: The suffixes used in the present tense conjugation of regular verbs depend on the subject of the sentence. Here are the suffixes for each subject:
 
- First-person singular (I): -am
- Second-person singular (you): -i
- Third-person singular (he/she/it): -ad
- First-person plural (we): -im
- Second-person plural (you all): -id
- Third-person plural (they): -and


== Conjugation of Regular Verbs in the Present Tense ==
3. Attach the suffix to the verb stem: Attach the appropriate suffix to the verb stem to form the conjugated verb. For example, if we want to say "I speak," we take the verb stem "goft-" and add the suffix "-am" to get "goftam".


To conjugate regular verbs in the present tense, we need to identify the root of the verb and add the appropriate endings based on the subject of the sentence. In Iranian Persian, there are three types of regular verbs: verbs ending in -am, verbs ending in -im, and verbs ending in -am, -im, or -em. Let's take a look at each type and how they are conjugated in the present tense.
Let's practice conjugating regular verbs in the present tense with some examples:


=== Verbs ending in -am ===
=== Example 1 ===


Verbs ending in -am are conjugated as follows:
Verb: "to eat"
Stem: "khordan-"


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Iranian Persian !! Pronunciation !! English
! Iranian Persian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| خواندَن  || xândan || to read
| من می‌خورم || man mi-khoram || I eat
|-
|-
| خوردَن  || xordan || to eat
| تو می‌خوری || to mi-khori || You eat
|-
|-
| نوشتَن  || neveštan || to write
| او می‌خورد || u mi-khord || He/She/It eats
|-
|-
| آمدَن  || âmadan || to come
| ما می‌خوریم || mā mi-khorim || We eat
|-
|-
| رفتَن  || raftan || to go
| شما می‌خورید || shomā mi-khorid || You all eat
|-
|-
| بودَن  || budan || to be
| آن‌ها می‌خورند || ānhā mi-khorand || They eat
|}
|}


As you can see from the table above, the present tense conjugation of verbs ending in -am is formed by removing the -am ending and adding the appropriate endings based on the subject. Let's conjugate the verb "خواندَن" (to read) in the present tense:
=== Example 2 ===
 
* I read: خوانْده اَم (xândeh am)
* You read: خوانْده ای (xândeh i)
* He/She reads: خوانْده است (xândeh ast)
* We read: خوانْده ایم (xândeh im)
* You read: خوانْده اید (xândeh id)
* They read: خوانْده اند (xândeh and)
 
Please note that the pronouns "I" and "you" are not explicitly mentioned in Iranian Persian. The verb form itself indicates the subject of the sentence. For example, "خوانْده اَم" (xândeh am) can be translated as "I read" or "I am reading" depending on the context.
 
=== Verbs ending in -im ===


Verbs ending in -im are conjugated as follows:
Verb: "to write"
Stem: "nevesht-"


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Iranian Persian !! Pronunciation !! English

|-
|-
| می‌خوانَم  || mi-xândam || I am reading
| من می‌نویسم || man mi-nevisam || I write
|-
|-
| می‌خورَم  || mi-xoram || I am eating
| تو می‌نویسی || to mi-nevisi || You write
|-
|-
| می‌نویسَم  || mi-nevisam || I am writing
| او می‌نویسد || u mi-nevisad || He/She/It writes
|-
|-
| می‌آیَم  || mi-âyam || I am coming
| ما می‌نویسیم || mā mi-nevisim || We write
|-
|-
| می‌رَوَم  || mi-rawam || I am going
| شما می‌نویسید || shomā mi-nevisid || You all write
|-
|-
| هَسْتَم  || hastam || I am
| آن‌ها می‌نویسند || ānhā mi-nevisand || They write
|}
|}


As you can see from the table above, the present tense conjugation of verbs ending in -im is formed by adding the prefix "می‌" (mi-) before the verb and the appropriate endings based on the subject. Let's conjugate the verb "خوانَم" (to read) in the present tense:
=== Example 3 ===


* I read: می‌خوانَم (mi-xândam)
Verb: "to read"
* You read: می‌خوانی (mi-xândi)
Stem: "khand-"
* He/She reads: می‌خوانَد (mi-xândad)
* We read: می‌خوانیم (mi-xândim)
* You read: می‌خوانید (mi-xândid)
* They read: می‌خوانَند (mi-xândand)
 
The prefix "می‌" (mi-) is used to indicate the present continuous tense in Persian. It is similar to the English construction "I am [verb]ing."
 
=== Verbs ending in -am, -im, or -em ===
 
Verbs ending in -am, -im, or -em are conjugated as follows:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Iranian Persian !! Pronunciation !! English
! Iranian Persian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| می‌گویَم  || mi-guyam || I am saying
| من می‌خوانم || man mi-khānam || I read
|-
|-
| می‌مانَم  || mi-mânam || I am staying
| تو می‌خوانی || to mi-khāni || You read
|-
|-
| می‌دهَم  || mi-daham || I am giving
| او می‌خواند || u mi-khānad || He/She/It reads
|-
|-
| می‌مِیرَم  || mi-miram || I am dying
| ما می‌خوانیم || mā mi-khānim || We read
|-
|-
| می‌آمَدَم  || mi-âmadam || I am coming
| شما می‌خوانید || shomā mi-khānid || You all read
|-
|-
| می‌رَفْتَم  || mi-raftam || I am going
| آن‌ها می‌خوانند || ānhā mi-khānand || They read
|}
|}


As you can see from the table above, the present tense conjugation of verbs ending in -am, -im, or -em is formed by adding the prefix "می‌" (mi-) before the verb and the appropriate endings based on the subject. Let's conjugate the verb "گویَم" (to say) in the present tense:
By practicing the conjugation of regular verbs in the present tense, you will gain a strong foundation in Iranian Persian grammar and be able to express yourself in various everyday situations.
 
== Making Simple Statements in the Present Tense ==
 
Now that you have learned how to conjugate regular verbs in the present tense, let's move on to making simple statements. In Iranian Persian, a basic statement consists of a subject, a verb, and sometimes an object.
 
To make a simple statement in the present tense, follow these steps:
 
1. Identify the subject: The subject is the person or thing performing the action. It can be a noun or a pronoun.
 
2. Conjugate the verb: Use the appropriate conjugated form of the verb based on the subject.
 
3. Add an object (optional): If the action of the verb is performed on someone or something, you can include an object in your statement.
 
Let's see some examples of making simple statements in the present tense:
 
=== Example 1 ===
 
Subject: "I"
Verb: "to speak"
Object: None
 
Statement: "I speak."
 
In Iranian Persian: "من صحبت می‌کنم."
 
=== Example 2 ===
 
Subject: "She"
Verb: "to read"
Object: "a book"
 
Statement: "She reads a book."
 
In Iranian Persian: "او کتاب می‌خواند."
 
=== Example 3 ===
 
Subject: "We"
Verb: "to eat"
Object: "lunch"
 
Statement: "We eat lunch."
 
In Iranian Persian: "ما ناهار می‌خوریم."


* I say: می‌گویَم (mi-guyam)
By practicing making simple statements in the present tense, you will be able to express yourself clearly and confidently in Iranian Persian.
* You say: می‌گویی (mi-guyi)
* He/She says: می‌گویَد (mi-guyad)
* We say: می‌گوییم (mi-guyim)
* You say: می‌گویید (mi-guyid)
* They say: می‌گویَند (mi-guyand)


The prefix "می‌" (mi-) is used to indicate the present continuous tense in Persian. It is similar to the English construction "I am [verb]ing."
== Forming Negative Statements in the Present Tense ==


== Making Simple Statements in the Present Tense ==
In addition to making simple affirmative statements, it is also important to know how to form negative statements in the present tense. In Iranian Persian, negative statements are formed by adding the word "نه" (pronounced "na") before the verb.
 
To form a negative statement in the present tense, follow these steps:
 
1. Identify the subject: The subject remains the same as in affirmative statements.
 
2. Add the word "نه": Place the word "نه" before the verb.
 
3. Conjugate the verb: Use the appropriate conjugated form of the verb based on the subject.
 
4. Add an object (optional): If there is an object, include it in your statement as well.
 
Let's practice forming negative statements in the present tense with some examples:
 
=== Example 1 ===
 
Subject: "You"
Verb: "to eat"
Object: None
 
Negative Statement: "You don't eat."
 
In Iranian Persian: "تو نمی‌خوری."


Now that we have learned how to conjugate regular verbs in the present tense, let's practice making simple statements in the affirmative form. To make a simple statement, we need to combine the present tense conjugation of a verb with the appropriate subject pronoun. Let's take a look at some examples:
=== Example 2 ===


* I am reading a book.
Subject: "They"
* من کتاب می‌خوانَم. (man ketâb mi-xândam)
Verb: "to write"
Object: "letters"


* You are eating an apple.
Negative Statement: "They don't write letters."
* تو سیب می‌خوری. (to sib mi-xori)


* He is writing a letter.
In Iranian Persian: "آن‌ها نامه نمی‌نویسند."
* او نامه می‌نویسَد. (u nâme mi-nevisad)


* She is coming to the party.
=== Example 3 ===
* او به مهمانی می‌آیَد. (u be mehmâni mi-âyad)


* We are going to the park.
Subject: "We"
* ما به پارک می‌رَویم. (mâ be pârk mi-rawim)
Verb: "to speak"
Object: "English"


* They are studying for the exam.
Negative Statement: "We don't speak English."
* آن‌ها برای امتحان می‌خوانَند. (ân-hâ barâye emtehân mi-xândand)


As you can see from the examples, the subject pronouns are added before the verb to indicate who is performing the action. The verb is then conjugated in the present tense according to the subject. It is important to note that the pronouns are optional in Iranian Persian as the verb form itself indicates the subject of the sentence. However, using the pronouns can provide clarity and emphasis in certain situations.
In Iranian Persian: "ما انگلیسی نمی‌گوییم."


== Making Negative Statements in the Present Tense ==
By practicing forming negative statements in the present tense, you will be able to express negation and communicate more effectively in Iranian Persian.


To make a negative statement in the present tense, we need to use the word "نَه" (na) before the verb. Let's take a look at some examples:
== Asking Questions in the Present Tense ==


* I am not reading a book.
In addition to making statements, it is essential to know how to ask questions in the present tense. In Iranian Persian, questions can be formed by using question words, question particles, or by changing the word order of a statement.
* من کتاب نمی‌خوانَم. (man ketâb nemixândam)


* You are not eating an apple.
Here are some ways to ask questions in the present tense:
* تو سیب نمی‌خوری. (to sib nemixori)


* He is not writing a letter.
1. Using question words: Question words such as "چه" (pronounced "che") meaning "what," "چرا" (pronounced "chera") meaning "why," "چطور" (pronounced "chetor") meaning "how," and others can be added to the beginning of a sentence to form a question. The word order remains the same as in a statement.
* او نامه نمی‌نویسَد. (u nâme neminevisad)


* She is not coming to the party.
2. Using question particles: Question particles such as "آیا" (pronounced "āyā") meaning "do/does," "آیا" (pronounced "āyā") meaning "is/are," or "آیا" (pronounced "āyā") meaning "can" can be added to the beginning of a sentence to form a question. The word order remains the same as in a statement.
* او به مهمانی نمی‌آیَد. (u be mehmâni nemixândad)


* We are not going to the park.
3. Changing the word order: By changing the word order of a statement, you can form a question. In Iranian Persian, the most common way to change a statement into a question is by placing the verb before the subject. This is similar to the English structure of subject-verb inversion.
* ما به پارک نمی‌رَویم. (mâ be pârk nemirawim)


* They are not studying for the exam.
Let's practice asking questions in the present tense with some examples:
* آن‌ها برای امتحان نمی‌خوانَند. (ân-hâ barâye emtehân nemixândand)


In the negative form, the word "نَه" (na) is placed before the verb to indicate negation. The verb itself remains in its base form without any conjugation. It is important to note that the word "نَه" (na) can also be written as "نیست" (nist) in certain contexts.
=== Example 1 ===


== Making Interrogative Statements in the Present Tense ==
Statement: "She reads a book."


To make an interrogative statement in the present tense, we need to use the word "آیا" (âyâ) at the beginning of the sentence. Let's take a look at some examples:
Question: "Does she read a book?"


* Are you reading a book?
In Iranian Persian: "آیا او کتاب می‌خواند؟"
* آیا تو کتاب می‌خوانی؟ (âyâ to ketâb mi-xândi)


* Is he eating an apple?
=== Example 2 ===
* آیا او سیب می‌خورَد؟ (âyâ u sib mi-xândad)


* Is she coming to the party?
Statement: "You eat lunch."
* آیا او به مهمانی می‌آیَد؟ (âyâ u be mehmâni mi-âyad)


* Are we going to the park?
Question: "Do you eat lunch?"
* آیا ما به پارک می‌رَویم؟ (âyâ mâ be pârk mi-rawim)


* Are they studying for the exam?
In Iranian Persian: "آیا تو ناهار می‌خوری؟"
* آیا آن‌ها برای امتحان می‌خوانَند؟ (âyâ ân-hâ barâye emtehân mi-xândand)


In interrogative statements, the word "آیا" (âyâ) is placed at the beginning of the sentence to indicate a question. The verb and subject remain in their regular order without any changes. It is important to note that in Iranian Persian, questions can also be formed by changing the intonation of the sentence without using the word "آیا" (âyâ).
=== Example 3 ===


== Practice Exercise ==
Statement: "We speak English."


Now that we have learned how to conjugate regular verbs in the present tense and make simple statements in the affirmative, negative, and interrogative form, let's practice with some exercises. Complete the following sentences using the correct form of the verb in the present tense:
Question: "Do we speak English?"


* I __________ a book.
In Iranian Persian: "آیا ما انگلیسی می‌گوییم؟"
* You __________ an apple.
* He __________ a letter.
* She __________ to the party.
* We __________ to the park.
* They __________ for the exam.


Once you have completed the exercise, you can check your answers below:
By practicing asking questions in the present tense, you will be able to engage in conversations and gather information effectively in Iranian Persian.


* I am reading a book.
== Summary ==
* You are eating an apple.
* He is writing a letter.
* She is coming to the party.
* We are going to the park.
* They are studying for the exam.

By practicing forming negative statements in the present tense, you will be able to express negation and communicate more effectively in Iranian Persian.

Asking Questions in the Present Tense[edit | edit source]

In addition to making statements, it is essential to know how to ask questions in the present tense. In Iranian Persian, questions can be formed by using question words, question particles, or by changing the word order of a statement.

Here are some ways to ask questions in the present tense:

1. Using question words: Question words such as "چه" (pronounced "che") meaning "what," "چرا" (pronounced "chera") meaning "why," "چطور" (pronounced "chetor") meaning "how," and others can be added to the beginning of a sentence to form a question. The word order remains the same as in a statement.

2. Using question particles: Question particles such as "آیا" (pronounced "āyā") meaning "do/does," "آیا" (pronounced "āyā") meaning "is/are," or "آیا" (pronounced "āyā") meaning "can" can be added to the beginning of a sentence to form a question. The word order remains the same as in a statement.

3. Changing the word order: By changing the word order of a statement, you can form a question. In Iranian Persian, the most common way to change a statement into a question is by placing the verb before the subject. This is similar to the English structure of subject-verb inversion.

Let's practice asking questions in the present tense with some examples:

Example 1[edit | edit source]

Statement: "She reads a book."

Question: "Does she read a book?"

In Iranian Persian: "آیا او کتاب می‌خواند؟"

Example 2[edit | edit source]

Statement: "You eat lunch."

Question: "Do you eat lunch?"

In Iranian Persian: "آیا تو ناهار می‌خوری؟"
