Forms of اَلْفِعْلُ الْمُضَارِعُ

Unlike the past-tense (اَلْفِعْلُ الْمَاضِيُّ) which only has one normal form (), the present-tense (اَلْفِعْلُ الْمُضَارِعُ) has three forms:

  1. مَرفُوعٌ (normal)
  2. مَنْصُوْبٌ (light)
  3. مَجْزُوْمٌ (lightest)

Everything we have learned so far is the مَرفُوعٌ (normal) form of the present-tense (اَلْفِعْلُ الْمُضَارِعُ). We will now continue with a study of the مَنْصُوْبٌ (light) and مَجْزُوْمٌ (lightest) forms.
