Arabic Present Tense
The easiest way to learn how to conjugate Arabic verbs to the present tense
is to look at the table below:
It’s very easy to put hundreds of verbs in the model
above, just replace the numbers with the three
consonants of the verb:
# 2 = first consonant, # 3 = second consonant, # 4 =
third consonant. You will notice that there are some letters before the
numbers 2, 3, 4, you shouldn’t replace the letters, the only thing you
should replace are the numbers, vowels (symbols) + the letters should stay.
For example the verb (to draw) is
(rasama
رسم
)
in Arabic, to conjugate it into the first person singular (I draw), try to
use the form next to ( I do) on the top, which is
 ,
in other words, always use the Alef أ
as a first letter for the first person singular, then replace the
letter # 2 with the first consonant of the verb you’re conjugating (in our
case it’s the verb
رسم)
meaning that the number 2 should be replaced with “ر”
, number 3 should be replaced with the second consonant which is
س
, # 4 should be replaced with the third consonant which is the letter
م
.
if you followed the steps the right way, then you will end up having
أرسُمُ
which means “I draw”, this rule applies to the trilateral verbs (with some
exceptions), you can do the same thing with the rest, the table below shows
how I replaced the numbers 2, 3, 4 with the consonants
ر , س , م)
+ the letters that are unchanged like the Alef
أ
for the first person singular, the unchanged ( t
ت
) for the second person singular and so on…and the most important is the
vowels or symbols on the top of each consonant.
Please pay extra attention to the harakaat written in
Arabic, the three small symbols ( َ
ُِ ِِِِِِِِ
)
are very important in the tables below and above, because they play the role
of vowels, (
ََََََََ
= vowel a) (
ُُُُُُ
= vowel u) (
ِِِِِِِِ
= vowel i or
e),

I draw
= arsumu
أرسُمُ
you
draw (singular masculine) = tarsumu
ترسُمُ
you
draw (singular feminine) = tarsumeena
ترسُمِينَ
he
draws = yarsumu
يَرسُمُ
she
draws = tarsumu
تَرسُمُ |
you
draw (dual male or female) = tarsumani
تَرسُمَانِ
they
draw (dual male or female) = yarsumani
يَرسُمَانِ
Plural
we
draw = narsumu
نَرسُمُ
you
draw (plural masculine) = tarsumuna
تَرسُمُونَ
your
draw (plural feminine) = tarsumna
تَرسُمْنَ
they
draw (plural masculine) = yarsumuna
يَرسُمُونَ
they
draw (plural feminine) = yarsumna
يَرسُمْنَ

You can use the table above to conjugate hundreds of
verbs, like (to write كتب)
( to learn
درس)
(to dream
حلم)
( to protect
حرس)
…..
However some other trilateral verbs have some slightly
different forms, look at the table below, it looks almost similar to the one
on the top, with one exception, look at # 3, it has a vowel (symbol)
different than the table on the top, the one on the top has a (
ُ
)
on the top of number 3, while the table below has a symbol like ( َ
)
on the top of number 3, basically instead of using the vowel (u
ُ
)
we will use the vowel (a َ ) with some trilateral
verbs, like: to play
لعب,
to do
فعل
,
to go
ذهب
,
to swimسبح
…
but the rest of the consonants stay unchanged.
Finally there is a third table which will have also a
slight modification, on the same place as the one before, which is under
number 3,
instead of adding the vowel ( u ُ
)
or the vowel (a َ
), this time we will add the vowel ( e or i ِ
) to some verbs when conjugating them like:
to throw
قذف,
to hit
ضرب,
to beat
هزم
