Grammar Points

In this section, we will cover some important grammar points related to travel preparations and bookings in Persian.

Verb Conjugation: Present Tense

To express present actions or states, we use the present tense in Persian. Let's take a look at the conjugation of the verb "to go" (رفتن - raftan) in the present tense:

Person	Conjugation	Pronunciation
I	می‌روم	miravam
You (singular)	می‌روی	miravi
He/She/It	می‌رود	miravad
We	می‌رویم	miravim
You (plural)	می‌روید	miravid
They	می‌روند	miravand

Conjunction "و" (va)

In Persian, the conjunction "و" (va) is used to connect words or phrases together. It is equivalent to the English conjunction "and". For example:

- من به تهران می‌روم و به اصفهان هم می‌روم. (I am going to Tehran and I am also going to Isfahan.)

Question Words

When asking questions, various question words are used in Persian. Here are some commonly used question words:

- چه (che): What - کی (ki): Who - کجا (koja): Where - چطور (chetor): How - چرا (chera): Why - چند (chand): How many

For example:

- تاریخ پرواز چیست؟ (What is the flight date?)

- کجا می‌توانم به موزه بروم؟ (Where can I go to the museum?)

Using "می‌توانید" (mitavanid) for Requests

To make requests in Persian, we use the word "می‌توانید" (mitavanid) followed by the base form of the verb. For example:

- می‌توانید به من کمک کنید؟ (Can you help me?)

- می‌توانید به من راهنمایی کنید؟ (Can you guide me?)
