Formation[edit | edit source]
The conditional mood in Iranian Persian is formed using the verb "بود" (bud) and the past tense form of the main verb. The past tense form is usually the simple past tense form. For example, the conditional form of the verb "کردن" (kardan), which means "to do," is "کرد" (karad) in the simple past tense.
