Every verb in Modern Standard Arabic can be grouped with other verbs sharing identical patterns of conjugation. These patterns (groups) are presented as
120 conjugation tables
which show how to conjugate any verb in all persons, tenses, and moods. Each form is followed by its transcription (pronunciation) to make the tables user-friendly for learners at all levels. An index lists nearly
4,000
of Arabic's most common verbs grouped by table. This book can be used on its own, but also acts as an invaluable companion to the
Lingualism Arabic Learner's Dictionary
, the verb entries in which contain references to the conjugation tables.
Note: This edition uses the radicals f-3-l (faa-3ayn-laam) to model the patterns in each table. (The "By Sample Verb" edition of this book uses actual verbs as examples.)
