Note: throughout this lesson you can always listen to how the words are pronounced by clicking on the images within the boxes beside this:

In this lesson we will take the four consonants

'B'=

'T'=

'K'=

'M'= .

 

 

 

As we mentioned in the last lesson the letters take different shape based on their position in the word.

Practice:

 

1) case of B

 

a) in the beginning of the word:

 

 

 

b) in the middle of the word:

• After a connector

 

• After a non-connector

 

2) case of T

As you may notice all this consonants are connective (change shape in order to connect to the letter following them)

Another thing is that b is written like t and is differentiated only by dots (one dot under b, two dots above t)

k at the end of the word can be written in two ways or but the latter is used most commonly used in the holy Quran

 

This table summarizes the various forms of the letter in different positions in a given word:

 

Note: When at the end of the word and after a non connecter, all these letter take the basic shape
