Verbs that use ‘to’ or ‘for’. How to use, and how to conjugate? NOTE about alternative?
For example, ‘pay’, ‘write’, ‘say’ (1) You must use ل to denote ‘to’ or ‘from’ For example: - ‘I sent to Sami’: أنا بعت لسامي - ‘I sent to the office’: أنا بعت للمكتب Notice that we remove the ا from ال because we like to simplify our writing (2) Conjugation is different For example: sent = بعت ‘I sent to you’ can be written as: - أنا بعتت إلَك - أنا بعتّلك Regardless of how it’s written, they’re always pronounced together (3) When combining with ال, remove the Alef: ل+ال becomes لل For example: ل + الولد becomes للولد (4) ALTERNATIVE: In some contexts, we can use either ل or عشان for the word ‘for’: - Either لإلك - Or عشان if we want to imply: ‘for the benefit of’. For example, ‘I went to the market FOR the discout’

Pronunciation of present tense ‘we’ verbs
(1) The من is pronounced in its full form: for example, منقول منجيب وناخد (2) The م is made silent and ن aquires نِ. This is typical of verbs which have ِىِ on their first letter: for example, لِعب نِسي طِلع (3) The م is made silent and ن aquires نُ. This is typical of verbs which have ِىِ on their first letter: for example, طَبخ becomes منُطبخ

Can (describing permission)

168
INFINITIVE: How to use?
Infinitive: - ‘I went TO CLOSE the window’ - ‘I learnt TO SPEAK Arabic’ ***Always spoken in the present tense*** أنا ‘I went to close’ Verb changes from: بسكر to أسكر - Verbs that already being with أ become آ - Verbs that begin with ا become أ For all other pronouns Remove the first letter For example, ‘[went to] play’ - You تلعب - You P تلعبوا - He يلعب - She تلعب - They يلعب - We نلعب The same principle of INFINITIVE is used with words that we don’t treat as verbs, but are verbs: - Can I (seeking permission): ممكن - Should I: لازم - Can I (ability): قدر For example, ‘Can I drink water?’ becomes ممكن أشرب مية؟
169
FUTURE tense: How to use?
Doesn’t need any conjugation. Insert رح before any verb (doesn’t change with pronouns) Then conjugate your remaining verbs like they’re INFINITIVE
