Persian Grammar (2) in Persian Academy

Make sure you watch the first Grammar course. That is called Persian Grammar (1) in Persian Academy, here in Udemy. Then get back here. In lesson six you will learn how to negate sentences. Instead of using auxiliary verbs, we simply add a negative marker before the main verb. The basic negative marker in Persian is na-. However, depending on the phonological environment, this might change to ne- or ni. In lesson seven we learn genitive in Persian. It is famous that Persian uses a construction which is called Ezafe to show the relation between nouns. The Persian/Farsi genitive marker is -e.

In lesson eight we learn possession. One of the ways to show possession is using the suffix -e (the same as a genitive marker) to the thing that belongs to somebody: ketab-e Maryam is 'Maryam's book'. But this is only one way.

Now it's time to make our own sentences, we do that in lesson nine by learning the present tense, which expresses not only the present tense but also the future.

We continue learning tenses by present continuous which is really fun. This is my favorite tense. While many years ago the structure of present tense could also express present continuous, now this te

nse separates its path and chooses to be independent, by expressing itself using the verb dashtan 'to have' as an auxiliary before the main verb.

So, let's get to know Persian grammar and make our knowledge practical.
