    This document discusses Arabic verb conjugations. It explains that Arabic verbs fall into six categories based on their past and present tense forms. The categories are called forms (m M ) in Arabic morphology. It provides a table showing the past and present tense forms for each category. Most verbs fall into the first three categories, with fewer in the later categories. The form that a verb belongs to determines its conjugations. Knowing the form is important for correctly pronouncing the past, present and imperative forms. Dictionaries indicate the form of each verb to help with identification and conjugation. Two vocabulary lists with verbs and their forms are provided as examples.

    2. With regard to the (-%/ 6) of the ('(;) and (`#l;),


    the verbs of (i 'j1k) fall into six categories. In the
    terminology of Arabic Morphology, these categories are
    called (
    m M ), the plural being (
    m M" B2J).
    The six categories are as follows6:

    Y" `#l; '(; " 


    S I .K M) J M ,J
    L I l
    B M)
    M M (
    M !p ?
    6 #" / 6 V"0.
    S L .K M) J M ,J L 8
    L &BM) M 8
    M *M qk ?
    6 b"%l 6 V"0.
    S M .K M) J I ,J oL %M

    6 Since Arabic is read from right to left, this table must be read in that
    direction. The arrow sign will be used as a guide to indicate the direction of
    the text.

    3. Verbs more often belong to one of the first three


    categories. The verbs of the fourth category are slightly less,
    the fifth category even lesser and very few verbs belong to
    the sixth category.

    4. When any word belongs to a particular category, it means


    that the harakah of the second radical will correspond to
    the ('(;) and (`#l;) of that category. For example, if it is

    said that the word (


    u B vJ - to wash) belongs to ( (  ), it
    means the ('(;) is (
    J M vJ ) and the (`#l;) is (S
    I wB M)).

    Note: In the Vocabulary Lists No. 14 and 15, the ('(;) and

    (`#l;) tenses have been written. Look at the verbs and


    work out which category each verb belongs to.

    5. It is essential to know which category every verb of


    (i'j1k) belongs to so that the ('(;), (`#l;) and the
    imperative () can be correctly pronounced. It is for this

    reason that the (


    m M ) of every verb is written next to a verb
    in the dictionaries. If the verb is from ( (  ), a (]) is

    written next to the verb.7 If the verb is from (8*  ), a ()


    is written next to the verb, if it is from (ox  ), a (Z) is

    inserted, if it is from (n0,  ), a (N) is written, if it is from

    (b  ), a (9) is inserted and if it is from (=   ), a (V)


    is written. We will follow the same procedure in the future
    vocabulary lists.

    In some modern dictionaries, a line with a harakah is


    inserted after the ('(;) to indicate the harakah of the

    (`#l;), e.g.

    (I_ J
    M vJ ), (_z M 8
    M *M), (_{ V
    M I ,J).

    Vocabulary List No. 14

    Word Meaning
    () J 8
    M M to obtain

    (]) oM |M #M to return

    () 3
    M YM #M to give, to sustain

    7 This applies to some dictionaries only. Others have their own methods of
    indicating the category of verbs.
