In Arabic, the time during which an action takes place determines the Verb Form<\/strong>. In talking about a completed action, we use the Perfective Form<\/strong> of the verb \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0650\u0639\u0652\u0644\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0645\u064e\u0627\u0636\u0650\u064a<\/strong>. If the action happens at the time of speaking or expresses habits and\/or facts, we use the Imperfective Form<\/strong> of the verb \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0650\u0639\u0652\u0644\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0645\u064f\u0636\u064e\u0627\u0631\u0639<\/strong>. Since conjugating verbs with different pronouns is straightforward, the focus of this post is certain rules that are oftentimes overlooked.<\/p>\n

As stated in an earlier post<\/a>, the Arabic verb is simple \u0645\u064f\u062c\u064e\u0631\u0651\u064e\u062f<\/strong> or complex \u0645\u064e\u0632\u0650\u064a\u0652\u062f<\/strong>. Normally, the simple is the default form. Take the verbs in the table above, it is obvious that the last consonant of the default perfective form should invariably have fatHah. This fatHah is indicative of the past form. However, certain pronominal (i.e. pronoun) affixes, which are always suffixes, affect this as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If the verb is conjugated with the third person masculine plural, i.e. adding \u0640\u0648\u0627 <\/strong>to the default form, the fatHah becomes dhammah, as in:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    One distinctive feature of the imperfective form is that it changes mood. For this reason, it is not tied to a specific tense, i.e. used to express past events, present, or future. Mood is the change in diacritical mark on the last letter of the verb. If it is dhammah, the verb is said to be in the indicative mood\u0645\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0641\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0639 <\/strong>; if it is fatHah, the verb is in the subjective mood \u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0635\u064f\u0648\u0628 <\/strong>; and if it is sukoon, the verb is in the jussive mood \u0645\u064e\u062c\u0652\u0632\u064f\u0648\u0645 <\/strong>.

                    In Arabic, the time during which an action takes place determines the Verb Form.

If the action happens at the time of speaking or expresses habits and\/or facts, we use the Imperfective Form of the verb \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0650\u0639\u0652\u0644\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0645\u064f\u0636\u064e\u0627\u0631\u0639.
