Brief Summary:
We saw today that there are three forms of present tense:
Normal, light and lightest.
All the present tense fi'ls in the present tense chart on page 82 are normal.
In order to make a present tense light (mansoob), we will do the following (see page 89)
1) Don't mess with the group of women! The ‫ هن‬and ‫ أنتن‬will not be changed.
2) If the fi'l ends in a dhamma change it to a fat-ha.
3) If the fi'l ends in an extra ‫ ن‬then remove the ‫ن‬.
We learned the list of harfs on page 90 that will cause a present tense to be light. Generally there will
not be a long distance relationship between these harfs and the present tense fi'l, although the effect
can be extended by a connector as we saw in class.
We then looked at how to make a present tense fi'l lightest (majzoom) (see page 92)
In order to make a present tense lightest, we will do the following:
1) Don't mess with the group of women! The ‫ هن‬and ‫ أنتن‬will not be changed.
2) If the fi'l ends in a dhamma change it to a sukoon.
3) If the fi'l ends in an extra ‫ ن‬then remove the ‫ن‬.
We learned a list of harfs on page 92 that make the present tense lightest. Generally there will not be a
long distance relationship between these harfs and the present tense fi'l, although the effect can be
extended with a connector.
Inshaa Allah we'll continue practicing with light and lightest harfs in the next class.
