Comparative researches in the field of Iranian languages and dialects have not been carried out in an acceptable manner in Iran due to its "structural" nature. Due to the lack of supporting institutions regarding Dari in Afghanistan, as well as the presence of long wars and extensive migrations, the position of Persian language in Afghanistan has not been given enough attention. In the absence of such attention in Afghanistan which has cultural ties with Iran, it is necessary to strengthen the field of dialect studies on Dari Persian in Iranian universities. This research is one of the results of a field research on the comparative study of border dialects of Iran. For more certainty, the works that investigated Persian dialects of Afghanistan have been reviewed. In addition, the researcher has extracted and recorded the necessary data through interviews and direct observations. The number of speakers in each of the mentioned dialects is 5 Afghan students of the International Center of Birjand University with an average age of 30 years in two genders. The results of the present research in the field of verb structure indicate the similarity of the general typological pattern of Kabuli, Herati and Kabuli dialects with Standard Persian and especially the border dialects of Khorasan. This comparative study has been done in the fields such as verb tenses, imperative and negation constructions, indefinite and causative types. Compared to Herati and Kabuli Persian dialects, the Hazaragi dialect has significant lexical and grammatical differences from standard Persian in Iran.
