In order to be able to use a verb in various structures and verb tenses, it is important to know all the various forms that a verb can take. In Dari a verb has three different forms, the infinitive form, the past stem or the past from, and the present stem or form.<\/p>\n
The infinitive<\/p>\n
The infinitive form of the verb in Dari does not indicate the time of the action it only shows an action. For example the infinitive \u062f\u06cc\u062f\u0646 \u00a0Deedan<\/em> means \u201c to see\u201d and does not show when the action is happening.\u00a0 One important thing to remember about the infinitive form of the verb in Dari is that it always ends with the diacritic mark and the letter \u0640\u064e\u0646 \u00a0\u00a0(an)<\/em>.<\/p>\n Past Form of a Verb<\/p>\n Once you learn the infinitive form of a verb the next thing you can do is to derive the past form of the verb.\u00a0 In Dari, the past tense is taught first because it is easy to derive the past stem of a verb from the infinitive form.\u00a0 By omitting the last diacritic mark and the letter \u0640\u064e\u0646 \u00a0\u00a0(an)\u00a0<\/em> you can\u00a0get the past form of the verb. For example the past form of the verb \u062f\u06cc\u062f\u0646 will be \u062f\u06cc\u062f \u00a0.<\/p>\n Present Form of a Verb<\/p>\n The present form of a verb is usually irregular and should be learned along with the infinitive form of a verb. You will see that the present form of a verb usually looks and sounds quite different than the infinitive therefore it is advised that when you learn Dari verbs, learn the infinitive and the present\u00a0forms together at the same time.\u00a0 By knowing the three forms of a verb you will be able to use it in any grammatical structure in Dari language.<\/p>\n Examples<\/p>\n English meaning<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Present from of the verb<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Past form of the Verb<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Infinitive<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n To see<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \u0628\u06cc\u0646<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \u062f\u06cc\u062f<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \u062f\u06cc\u062f\u064e\u0646<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n To do<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \u06a9\u0631\u062f<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \u06a9\u0646<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \u06a9\u0631\u062f\u064e\u0646<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \u00a0\n\n
