Ch 3 - L5C Verb Forms - Past Tense

The past tense base form is made by removing the ن  from the end of the infinitive.
For Example:   کردن  means to do
Past Tense base form is        کرد

Adding a personal ending to the past tense base form shows who or what is performing the action. Eg: he/she/it.

* 3rd person singular has no personal ending when the verb is in past tense (‘He did’).
Negative form - is formed by adding na- ( ن ) to the beginning of all the verb tenses including the Infinitive form.
‘Not to do’ - past tense


Other Examples
nadāshtam نَداشتم (I did not have)
nabudid نَبوديد (you were not)
If the present stem begins with آ the negative prefix is pronounced ' nai '
Example: نیامدم I did not come
