Irregular Verbs in Arabic (Part 3): Verbs Beginning with Vowels Posted by on Jan 27, 2010 in Grammar

This post deals with verbs that begin with a vowel (الفعل المثال), e.g. (وصل) ‘arrived, (وعد) ‘promised, (يئس) ‘gave up hope’, etc. In the past tense, they take the same endings like any other verb, this is mainly because past tense verbs are conjugated with suffixes, or endings. Therefore, the beginning of the verbs, i.e. the vowel remains unaffected
