Here are some expressions and questions that can be used to talk about daily routines:
Now that you have learned the essential vocabulary, let's move on to some example sentences to put them into practice.


* صبح که می‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌خواهم شد، زود بیدار می‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‎شوم. (Sabah ke mikhaaham shavam, zud bidar mishaavam.) - When I wake up in the morning, I get up early.
== Examples ==


* من هر صبح با یک فنجان قهوه شروع می‌‌کنم. (Man har sobh ba yek fenjan gahve shoro mikonam.) - I start every morning with a cup of coffee.
1. خوردن (khordan) - to eat:
- من صبحانه می‌خورم. (Man sobhaneh mikhoram.) - I eat breakfast.
- عصرها معمولاً میوه می‌خورم. (Asrha momanlan meve mikhoram.) - I usually eat fruit in the afternoon.


* آیا تو همیشه به مدرسه با اتوبوس می‌‌روی؟ (Aya to hamisheh be madrese ba otobus miravi?) - Do you always go to school by bus?
2. نوشیدن (nushidan) - to drink:
- من قهوه صبحانه می‌نوشم. (Man ghahve-ye sobhaneh minusham.) - I drink coffee for breakfast.
- عصرها معمولاً چای می‌نوشم. (Asrha momanlan chay minusham.) - I usually drink tea in the afternoon.


* من حدود ساعت نه صبح به محل کار می‌رسم. (Man hodoode sa'ate noh sobh be mahale kar mirasam.) - I usually arrive at work around 9:00 AM.
3. خوابیدن (khabidan) - to sleep:
- من هر شب ساعت ۱۰ می‌خوابم. (Man har shab saat 10 mikhabam.) - I go to sleep at 10 o'clock every night.
- من همیشه شب‌ها کاملاً خوب می‌خوابم. (Man hamisheh shabha kamelan khub mikhabam.) - I always sleep well at night.


== Grammar ==
4. بیدار شدن (bidar shodan) - to wake up:
- من هر روز ساعت ۷ صبح بیدار می‌شوم. (Man har roz saat 7 sobh bidar mishavam.) - I wake up at 7 o'clock every morning.
- من همیشه زود صبح بیدار می‌شوم. (Man hamisheh zood-e sobh bidar mishavam.) - I always wake up early in the morning.


One way to talk about your daily routine in Persian is by using the present tense of verbs. As you will notice, the present tense of verbs in Persian is quite straightforward since there are no verb conjugations that vary according to the subject (there is no difference between "I eat" and "he eats", for example).
5. رفتن (raftan) - to go:
- من هر روز به مدرسه می‌روم. (Man har roz be madreseh miravam.) - I go to school every day.
- عصرها معمولاً به پارک می‌روم. (Asrha momanlan be park miravam.) - I usually go to the park in the afternoon.


Here is an example of a sentence that uses the present tense of a verb:
6. برگشتن (bargashtan) - to come back:
- من هر روز بعد از کار به خانه برمی‌گردم. (Man har roz ba'd az kar be khaneh barmigardam.) - I come back home after work every day.
- شب‌ها معمولاً دیر به خانه برمی‌گردم. (Shabha momanlan dir be khaneh barmigardam.) - I usually come back home late at night.


* من هر روز با صبحانه شروع می‌کنم. (Man har roz ba sobhaneh shoro mikonam.) - I start every day with breakfast.
7. کار کردن (kar kardan) - to work:
- من هر روز ساعت ۹ صبح شروع به کار می‌کنم. (Man har roz saat 9 sobh shoru' be kar mikonam.) - I start working at 9 o'clock every morning.
- من تمام روزها در دفتر کار می‌کنم. (Man tamam-e rozha dar daftar-e kar mikonam.) - I work in the office all day.


Here, "شروع می‌کنم‎" (shoro mikonam) is the present tense of the verb "شروع کردن" (shoro kardan) which means "to start". Note that the verb is always in the infinitive form and is preceded by "می‌کنم‎" (mikonam) which means "I do".
8. درس خواندن (dars khandan) - to study:
- من هر روز بعد از ظهر می‌خوانم. (Man har roz ba'd az zohr mikhanam.) - I study every day in the afternoon.
- شب‌ها معمولاً کتاب می‌خوانم. (Shabha momanlan ketab mikhnam.) - I usually read books at night.


Another way to talk about your daily routine is by using "همیشه" (hamisheh) which means "always", "غالباً" (ghalabatan) which means "usually", or "احیاناً" (ahyaanaan) which means "sometimes". Here is an example:
9. تمرین کردن (tamrin kardan) - to exercise:
- من هر روز به ورزشگاه می‌روم تا تمرین کنم. (Man har roz be varzeshgah miravam ta tamrin konam.) - I go to the gym every day to exercise.
- عصرها معمولاً ورزش می‌کنم. (Asrha momanlan varzesh mikonam.) - I usually exercise in the afternoon.


* همیشه با شستن صبحانه شروع می‌کنم. (Hamisheh ba shostan sobhaneh shoro mikonam.) - I always start with washing and having breakfast.
10. دیدار کردن (didar kardan) - to meet:
- من هر روز دوستانم را می‌بینم. (Man har roz dustanam ra mibinam.) - I meet my friends every day.
- عصرها معمولاً با خانواده دیدار می‌کنم. (Asrha momanlan ba khanevadeh didar mikonam.) - I usually meet with family in the afternoon.


In this case, "همیشه" (hamisheh) is used to indicate that you always start your day with washing and breakfast.
Now, let's practice using these verbs and expressions in context.


== Writing practice ==
== Conversation ==


Now that you know some vocabulary and grammar related to daily routines, try to write a short paragraph about your own daily routine in Persian. Use the vocabulary and expressions you have learned, and try to make your sentences as detailed as possible.
Here is a conversation between two friends, Sara and Ali, discussing their daily routines:


== Conclusion ==
Sara: سلام علی! هر روزت چطور می‌گذره؟ (Salam Ali! Har rozat chetor migzarad?)
Ali: سلام سارا! من صبح‌ها ساعت ۷ بیدار می‌شوم. بعد از ظهر به مدرسه می‌روم و تا ساعت ۴ کلاس دارم. بعد از کلاس عصرها به کتابخانه می‌روم و درس می‌خوانم. شب‌ها همیشه در خانه می‌مانم و فیلم تماشا می‌کنم. (Salam Sara! Man sobhha saat 7 bidar mishavam. Ba'd az zohr be madreseh miravam va ta saat 4 kelas daram. Ba'd az kelas asrha be ketabkhaneh miravam va dars mikhnam. Shabha hamisheh dar khaneh mimanam va film tamasha mikonam.)
Sara: خیلی جالبه! من هم همینطور صبح‌ها ساعت ۷ بیدار می‌شوم، ولی بعد از ظهر به خونه برمی‌گردم و درس می‌خوانم. شب‌ها عادت کردم به ورزش کردن و عصرها به پارک می‌روم. (Kheili jaleb ast! Man ham intor sobhha saat 7 bidar mishavam, vali ba'd az zohr be khaneh barmigardam va dars mikhnam. Shabha adat kardam be varzesh kardan va asrha be park miravam.)
Ali: باورت می‌شه شب‌ها به پارک می‌روی؟ (Bavaret mishavd shabha be park miravi?)
Sara: بله! هوای شب‌ها رو خیلی دوست دارم. (Bale! Havaye shabha ro kheili dust daram.)
Ali: خیلی قشنگه! باید یه روز با هم به پارک بریم. (Kheili ghashange! Bayad ye roz ba ham be park berim.)
Sara: حتماً! منتظرم. (Hatman! Montazeram.)


In this lesson, you learned how to talk about your daily routine in Persian using the most common verbs and expressions.

== Sources ==
In this section, we will cover some important grammar points related to talking about daily routines in Persian.
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_language Persian Language]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_grammar Persian Grammar]


=== Present Simple Tense ===
To talk about daily routines, we use the present simple tense in Persian. In Persian, the present simple tense is formed by adding personal pronouns and the verb stem. Here are some examples:
- من کتاب می‌خوانم. (Man ketab mikhnam.) - I read a book.
- تو به مدرسه می‌روی. (To be madreseh miravi.) - You go to school.
- او شب‌ها تلویزیون تماشا می‌کند. (O shabha television tamasha mikonad.) - He/She watches TV at night.
- ما هر روز به پارک می‌رویم. (Ma har roz be park miravim.) - We go to the park every day.
- شما همیشه دیر به خانه برمی‌گردید. (Shoma hamisheh dir be khaneh barmigardid.) - You always come back home late.
- آن‌ها عصرها ورزش می‌کنند. (Anha asrha varzesh mikonand.) - They exercise in the afternoon.
=== Time Expressions ===
To talk about daily routines, it's important to use time expressions. Here are some common time expressions in Persian:
- هر روز (har roz) - every day
- صبح (sobh) - morning
- ظهر (zohr) - noon
- عصر (asr) - afternoon
- شب (shab) - night
You can use these time expressions to specify when you perform certain activities. For example:
- من هر روز صبحانه می‌خورم. (Man har roz sobhaneh mikhoram.) - I eat breakfast every day.
- عصرها معمولاً به پارک می‌روم. (Asrha momanlan be park miravam.) - I usually go to the park in the afternoon.
=== Adverbs of Frequency ===
Adverbs of frequency are used to describe how often an action takes place. In Persian, adverbs of frequency come before the verb. Here are some common adverbs of frequency in Persian:
- همیشه (hamisheh) - always
- معمولاً (momanlan) - usually
- اغلب (oqlob) - often
- گاهی (gahi) - sometimes
- نادر (nadar) - rarely
- هرگز (hargez) - never
You can use these adverbs of frequency to describe the regularity of your daily activities. For example:
- من همیشه شب‌ها خوب می‌خوابم. (Man hamisheh shabha khub mikhabam.) - I always sleep well at night.
- من اغلب به تمرین می‌روم. (Man oqlob be tamrin miravam.) - I often go to the gym.
== Practice Exercise ==
Now it's time to practice what you have learned! Complete the following sentences with the correct verb or expression:
1. من هر روز به _______________ می‌روم. (ketabkhaneh / markaz-e kharid / restoran / park)
2. عصرها معمولاً _______________ می‌کنم. (varzesh kardan / film dekordan / shahr bazikardan / dars khondan)
3. شب‌ها همیشه _______________ می‌کنم. (khabidan / tamas ba doostan / dar ketab khondan / didar-e khanevadeh)
4. من هر روز ساعت ۷ صبح _______________ می‌شوم. (berozresani mikonam / namaz mikhunam / bidar mishavam / namaz mikonam)

Grammar Points[edit | edit source]

In this section, we will cover some important grammar points related to talking about daily routines in Persian.

Present Simple Tense[edit | edit source]

To talk about daily routines, we use the present simple tense in Persian. In Persian, the present simple tense is formed by adding personal pronouns and the verb stem. Here are some examples:

- من کتاب می‌خوانم. (Man ketab mikhnam.) - I read a book. - تو به مدرسه می‌روی. (To be madreseh miravi.) - You go to school. - او شب‌ها تلویزیون تماشا می‌کند. (O shabha television tamasha mikonad.) - He/She watches TV at night. - ما هر روز به پارک می‌رویم. (Ma har roz be park miravim.) - We go to the park every day. - شما همیشه دیر به خانه برمی‌گردید. (Shoma hamisheh dir be khaneh barmigardid.) - You always come back home late. - آن‌ها عصرها ورزش می‌کنند. (Anha asrha varzesh mikonand.) - They exercise in the afternoon.

Time Expressions[edit | edit source]

To talk about daily routines, it's important to use time expressions. Here are some common time expressions in Persian:

- هر روز (har roz) - every day - صبح (sobh) - morning - ظهر (zohr) - noon - عصر (asr) - afternoon - شب (shab) - night

You can use these time expressions to specify when you perform certain activities. For example:

- من هر روز صبحانه می‌خورم. (Man har roz sobhaneh mikhoram.) - I eat breakfast every day. - عصرها معمولاً به پارک می‌روم. (Asrha momanlan be park miravam.) - I usually go to the park in the afternoon.

Adverbs of Frequency[edit | edit source]

Adverbs of frequency are used to describe how often an action takes place. In Persian, adverbs of frequency come before the verb. Here are some common adverbs of frequency in Persian:

- همیشه (hamisheh) - always - معمولاً (momanlan) - usually - اغلب (oqlob) - often - گاهی (gahi) - sometimes - نادر (nadar) - rarely - هرگز (hargez) - never

You can use these adverbs of frequency to describe the regularity of your daily activities. For example:

- من همیشه شب‌ها خوب می‌خوابم. (Man hamisheh shabha khub mikhabam.) - I always sleep well at night. - من اغلب به تمرین می‌روم. (Man oqlob be tamrin miravam.) - I often go to the gym.

Practice Exercise[edit | edit source]

Now it's time to practice what you have learned! Complete the following sentences with the correct verb or expression:

1. من هر روز به _______________ می‌روم. (ketabkhaneh / markaz-e kharid / restoran / park) 2. عصرها معمولاً _______________ می‌کنم. (varzesh kardan / film dekordan / shahr bazikardan / dars khondan) 3. شب‌ها همیشه _______________ می‌کنم.
