Persian Lesson 52 – Interrogative in Past Perfect Tense

Salam! Khosh amadid!

Hello everyone, how are you?

Quiz:

One

Two

Three

2- Find the Persian equivalent for the following words and make four sentences with each of them (one in simple past tense, one in present perfect tense using ‘for’, one in simple future tense, and one in past perfect tense).

To turn on
To turn off
Award
To resign

3- Say these numbers in Persian:

16 – 898 – 3223 – 6116 – 7011 – 10111 – 69009

4- Follow the examples, combine the letters, and make words using the given letters. You’ll have to change the big letters into the small ones whenever needed.

Friend <= /du:st/ < == 

Book <= /keta:b/ < == 

Anything <= /chizi:/< == 

Award <= /ja:yezeh/ < == 

Driver <= /ra:nændeh/ < == 

Taxi <= /ta:ksi/ < == 

To break <= /shekæstæn/ < == 

To say <= /goftæn/ <== 

All right,

Today, we are going to learn the last part of past perfect tense, which is the interrogative form of this tense. Ready?

Do you remember what we did in simple past tense as well as in other tenses? Great! There is nothing more here!

Put the word  /a:ya:/ in the beginning of your sentences. You will have the interrogative form.

It’s that easy! ( My job, I mean!!)

Let’s see some examples:

I had seen him.  /mæn u: ra: dideh bu:dæm/.

Had I seen him?  /a:ya: mæn u: ra: dideh bu:dæm/?

She had called me.  /u: beh mæn telefon kærdeh bu:d/.

Had she called me?  /a:ya: u: beh mæn telefon kærdeh bu:d/?

And so on.

See you next week!

Khoda Hafez!
