Hello again. In this video, I elaborate more on verb use and particulaly present tense. There is an awkward moment in the middle that I could not trim out of the video. Sorry about that, enjoy.
As a followup on the video, the following handout summarizes verb patterns in Arabic. Keep it in your notes for later testing in the module.
Now Go to the next page for a list of verbs to study.
Now this is a list of all verbs from Book one and some additional ones that you may not have seen before. This will be considered our gloassary for the whole course and you are highly encouraged to use them in your written and spoken assignments and you will also need them in our quizzes . In fact, if you get all of these verbs memorized by the end of the class, this would be awesome and would be great to keep for your second year. Good luck.
Now move to the next page to start practicing what you learned.
