      remember that if there is an adjective for the object, then the ra should come after that, not the noun. There is no ra though even after that in this sentence however. I think its just a mistake.

        ra isn’t always used with the verb –>

        “Why the translation of the sentence ‘He had a basket’ has no ‘ra’ in Persian?

        In simple words, why this equation is right? He had a basket = او یک سبد داشت

        And why this one is not right? He had a basket = او یک سبد را داشت (with ‘ra’)

        Think about it first. Then, to check your answer read below:

        Because we do not know which BASKET it is talking about. We only know that ‘HE HAD A BASKET’. In this case, mostly we do not need ‘ra’. ‘ra’ is somehow works like ‘the’ in English.”
