Persian Lesson 62 – Negative in Simple Present Tense

Salam! Khosh amadid!

Hello everyone, how are you?

Quiz:

1- Listen to the audio files first (preferably once). Repeat it for a couple of times. Write it down on a paper. Find their English equivalents. (Seen)

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).

Electricity
To rent
Room
Country

3- Say these numbers in Persian:

13 – 323 – 1003 – 900 – 1555 – 1010

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/ < == 

To sell <= /foru:khtæn/< == 

Sister <= /kha:hær/ < == 

House <= /kha:neh/ < == 

Car <= /ma:shin/ < == 

Father <= /pedær/<== 

All right,

Today, we are going to see the negative form of sentences in simple present tense.

Actually, we don’t have much to do now. I am sure, all of you remember the  /nu:n/ that we have learned long ago. We would put  /nu:n/ in the beginning of the verbs to make them negative. Try the same rule here. The only difference is this: we should put  /nu:n/ with /ne/ sound in the beginning of the verbs, instead of /næ/ sound. I don’t think this is very confusing. It demands a little bit practice only.

Let’s see a couple of examples:

I go =  /mæn mirævæm/.

I don’t go =  /mæn nemirævæm/.

He buys =  /u: mikhæræd/.

He doesn’t buy =  /u: nemikhæræd/.

That’s it!

See you next week!

Khoda Hafez!
