- The forms are as follows:

Subjunctive present – identical to simple present:

daaram دارم // daari داری // dare داره // daarim داریم // daarin دارین // daaran دارن

Subjunctive past:

daashte baasham داشته‌ باشم // daashte baashi داشته‌ باشی // daashte baashe داشته‌ باشه // daashte baashim داشته‌ باشیم // daashte baashin داشته‌ باشین // daashte baashan داشته‌ باشن

- For its usage, note the following:

1) Sometimes only subjunctive past is possible:

Simple verb: Mixaam daashte baashe می‌خوام داشته‌ باشه ‘I want it to have’ // Baayad daashte baashe باید داشته‌ باشه ‘it should have’ // Lazeme daashtebaashe لازمه داشته‌ باشه ‘it’s necessary that s/he/it have’.

Prefixal and compound verbs: Mixaam dust daashtebaasheمی‌خوام دوست داشته‌ باشه ‘I want her/him to like it’ // Baayad edaame daashtebaashe باید ادامه داشته‌ باشه ‘It should continue’ // Laazeme ettelaa’ daashtebaashe لازمه اطّلاع داشته‌ باشه ‘It’s necessary that s/he know’.

2) Sometimes both subjunctive present and subjunctive past are possible, with a meaning difference:

Simple verb: Age Mitra daare, cheraa nagoft? اگه میترا داره چرا نگفت؟ ‘If Mitra has it, why didn’t she say it?’ [the speaker has heard that Mitra has it] vs. Age Mitra daashtebaashe, dige laazem nist bexarim اگه میترا داشته باشه دیگه لازم نیست بخریم ‘If Mitra has it, then we won’t need to buy it anymore’ [the speaker is not sure whether Mitrahas it or not].

Prefixal and compound verbs: Age bardaare اگه برداره ‘If s/he picks it up’ [referring to future] vs Age bardaashte baashe اگه برداشته باشه ‘If s/he’s kept it’ [referring to past] // Baayad negah daare باید نگه داره ‘S/he must keep it’ vs Baayad negah daashtebaashe باید نگه داشته باشه ‘S/he must’ve kept it’.
