Pattern Tips
1. Attached Suffixes

Attached pronouns (Col 2) are always added to the end. They change a word from "House" to "His House" or "Book" to "Your Book".

2. Past Tense Ends

The Past tense (Col 3) only modifies the ending of the root. Look for suffixes like تَ (You), تُمْ (You all), or نَا (We).

3. Present Tense Starts

The Present tense (Col 4) is identified by its prefixes. Remember the أَتَيْنَا group: أَ ، تَ ، يَ ، نَ at the beginning of the word.

The Root Formula

Every Arabic verb follows a 3-letter root formula. Here, we use ف-ع-ل. Simply swap these three letters with any other root (like خ-ل-ق) and the suffixes/prefixes remain exactly the same!
