The present form of the verb, and the future

How a verb in its present form begins with a letter that tells you who acts, and how one letter in front of it makes it future.

The past form of a verb tells you who acted by its ending. The present form tells you mostly by its beginning: a letter in front of the root. This lesson teaches that, four more common verbs, and the letter sa-, which turns the present into the future.

The new words

  • عَمِلَTel que le Coran l’écrit: تَعْمَلُ · عَمِلُ · يَعْمَلُ

    do, work (ʿamila: he did)

    Racine: ع م لOccurrences dans le Coran: 276

  • رَءَاTel que le Coran l’écrit: يَرَ · تَرَ · رَءَيْ

    see (raʾā: he saw)

    Racine: ر ا يOccurrences dans le Coran: 271

  • أَتَىTel que le Coran l’écrit: يَأْتِي · يَأْتِ · أَتَىٰ

    come, come to, bring (atā: he came)

    Racine: ا ت يOccurrences dans le Coran: 264

  • آتَىTel que le Coran l’écrit: ءَاتَيْ · أُوتُ · ءَاتَىٰ

    give (ātā: he gave)

    Racine: ا ت يOccurrences dans le Coran: 271

  • سَ

    will (before a present verb, it speaks of what is to come)

    Occurrences dans le Coran: 119

The letter in front

In the present form, the first letter says who does the action:

  • ya- is "he", and with -ūna at the end, "they";
  • ta- is "you", and also "she";
  • a- is "I";
  • na- is "we".
يَرَىٰ
Ses parties
  1. يَرَىٰsee (raʾā: he saw)
Coran 79:36

Yarā is "he sees": ya- in front of the verb raʾā, "saw", whose hamzah (the middle letter of the root r-ʾ-y) drops out in this form. The corpus marks the verb as imperfect, its name for the present form, and third person, masculine, singular.

فَتَأْتُونَ
Ses parties
  1. فَso, then, and so
  2. تَأْتُcome, come to, bring (atā: he came)
  3. ونَyou, your (more than two)
Coran 78:18

Fa-taʾtūna is fa, "so", then taʾtu, "come", with ta- in front for "you", then ūna, the plural "you" of the second lesson. The corpus marks the verb second person, masculine, plural, and divides ūna off as the doer.

The future

Sa-, joined to the front of a present verb, says the action is still to come.

سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Ses parties
  1. سَwill (before a present verb, it speaks of what is to come)
  2. يَعْلَمُknow (ʿalima: he knew)
  3. ونَthey (as the doer of a verb); them, their
Coran 78:4

Sa-yaʿlamūna is sa, "will", then yaʿlamu, "know", the present of ʿalima from the last lesson, then ūna, "they": "they will know". You know every part of this word.

Giving

يُؤْتِى
Ses parties
  1. يُؤْتِىgive (ātā: he gave)
Coran 92:18

Yuʾtī is the present of ātā, "gave". Its first vowel is u, not a: the corpus marks ātā as form IV, a pattern of the verb that the next stage of the course teaches.

In a sentence

Une phrase écrite pour s’exercer
أَرَى السَّمَاءَ

I see the sky.

This sentence was written for practice. Arā, "I see": a-, "I", in front of the verb.

Recall

  • Which letter in front of a present verb means "we"?
  • What does sa- do?
  • In yarā, who sees?

Answers: na-; it makes the verb future; "he".
