Three Cases of Verbs in Arabic
Every verb in Arabic has 3 forms: Past, Present and Command tense.
| Arabic Verb | ||
| Past | Present | Imperative (Command ) |
Examples:
| Command | Present | Past |
| اُكتُبْ | يَكْتُبُ | كَتَبَ |
| كُلْ | يَأْكُلُ | أَكَلَ |
| اِجّلِسْ | يَجْلِسُ | جَلَسَ |
If you have noticed, the patters are different for each of these examples. We will come to the reason in the later sections.
