- We have said before that there are healthy and unhealthy verbs.
- A Healthy Verb is that verb that doesn’t have any sick letters in its root (base).
- The sick letters that make the verb sick are و , ا , ى .
- We talked before about the first type of healthy verbs; the Salim verb.
- Today, we will look at the second type; The Mahmouz Verb الفعل المهموز
Definition:
A Mahmouz verb is that which has a Hamza in its root (base).
* The Hamza can come:
1) At the beginning of the base verb; e.g. أكلَ ( = ate ).
2) In the middle of the base verb; e.g. سألَ ( = asked ).
3) At the end of the base verb; e.g. قرأ ( = read ).
To learn the different tense forms of this category of verbs, let’s study this table:

(Note 1: The rules of gender and number we studied earlier apply to these verb tenses.)
(Note 2: Some verbs starting with Hamza when used with “I” , The Hamzah changes to the long Alif with Maddah at the beginning; e.g. أكل >>> آكُلُ = I eat, and أخَذَ >>> آخُذُ = I take.)
(Note 3: The Hamza is dropped in the imperative form of some verbs; e.g. خُذ , كُلْ , سلْ .)
