Forms are generated offline with Qutrub, with explicit corrections and regression checks for selected irregular forms. Compare grammatical patterns in the Arabic verb reference. Device speech varies by installed Arabic voice.
Make sense of what you’re practicing
The dictionary form is a past-tense form
Arabic dictionaries usually cite the third-person masculine singular past: كَتَبَ means “he wrote.” It identifies the verb commonly glossed in English as “to write.” Search also accepts forms such as كتبت and English meanings.
Learn the past and present together
For Form I, the present middle vowel is lexical: كَتَبَ pairs with يَكْتُبُ, while جَلَسَ pairs with يَجْلِسُ. A root alone does not determine every conjugation. These tables use a selected, identified verb and meaning rather than guessing vowels for arbitrary roots.
Weak letters change the stem
قَالَ becomes قُلْتُ in “I said,” but يَقُولُ in “he says.” Final-weak verbs can lose their last weak letter in the jussive: يَمْشِي becomes يَمْشِ. Hamza spelling can also change, as in تَقْرَئِينَ. These are morphological and spelling changes, not optional decorations.
MSA moods are different from dialect
Use the subjunctive after لَنْ and the jussive after لَمْ. Future سَـ attaches to the indicative. Everyday dialects have their own prefixes and endings, so these MSA tables should not be used as Egyptian or Levantine paradigms.
