    Learning Objectives

    In this section, you will be able to:

    • Learn about present-tense case marking.
    • Compare the case endings of verbs.

    Present Tense Case Marking

    المضارع المرفوع

    • The default case ending for the present tense is الضمة " ُ" as in يأكلُ – يطبخُ - يشربُ – نحبُ.
    • This الضمة will not appear in unvocalized texts.
    • There is no need to pronounce الضمة with verb conjugation that ends with one of the suffixes (ون، ان، ين) as in تحبين - تشربين - تشربون- تحبون- يحبون - يشربون .

    المضارع المنصوب

    • The case الضمة changes to الفتحة when the following particles precede the present verb: أنْ - لَنْ- لِـ as in لن أُسافِرَ- أَنْ ألْعَبَ- لِأدرُسَ.
    • These particles mean to=أنْ in the expression "love to," in order to= لِـ, and لَنْ particle is used to negate the future tense and it means "won't."
    • In the case of المضارع المنصوب the verb conjugation that ends with one of the suffixes (ون، ان، ين) the letter نون should be removed from the end of the verb as in أنتِ تُحبين - أنتِ لن تُحبي
    • Study these verbs and compare the case ending of verbs.

    Present Tense and Masdar الفعل المضارع والمصدر

    الفعل المضارع + أنْ = المصدر

    • المصدر can equally be expressed by the structure أنْ+ present tense verb.
    • These two constructions express the same meaning. For example أُحِبُّ شُربَ القهوةِ = أُحبُّ أَنْ أَشْرَبَ القَهوة
    • In Arabic, you can use the particle أنْ in most cases whereas use the infinitive in English as in يريدُ أن يدرسَ الأدب.
    • We do not use أنْ with the verb to begin= يبدأُ as in يبدَأُ دراسة اللغة العربية or يبدأً يدرسُ اللغة العربية
    • The words قبل and بعد must be followed by either المصدر or the linking word أنْ as in قبل الأكل before eating = قبل أنْ آكُلَ before I eat, بعدَ العمل after working= بعدَ أن يعملَ after he works.
