Lesson 10

In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful.

Assalamu'alaikum and greetings to all.


LESSON 10 VERBS : FI’IL MUDHORI’

  1. As mentioned earlier, the imperfect tense, مُضَارِعٌ فعل ( fi’il mudhori’ ), denotes an incomplete action ( roughly corresponds to the present or present continuous or future tenses in English ).
  2. The imperfect tense is made from the three radical letters of the perfect tense and with the addition of either ت (ta), ا (alif), ن (nun) or ي (ya) which are the signs of the imperfect tense. Kindly see Table 20 and Table 21 below for the conjugation of the imperfect tense.
