Post by: Qualities of Allah on June 12, 2021, 05:11:23 PM

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

We have covered family relationships, which are nouns. Now we will do some verbs.

First of all verbs in Arabic are marked with 7 different categories,  which are tenses, voices, forms, numbers, genders, persons, and moods (non-past only). There are:

• 3 tenses (past, present, future)
• 2 voices (active, passive)
• 19 forms (Form I, Form II,...Form XIX)
• 3 numbers (singular, dual, plural)
• 3 persons (1st person, 2nd person, 3rd person)
• 6 moods for non-past only (indicative, jussive, subjunctive, imperative, short energetic, long energetic)
• 2 genders (masculine, feminine)
