In this lesson, you will learn how to conjugate regular verbs in the past tense in Moroccan Arabic. This is an essential skill for anyone looking to develop their communication skills in the language.
Formation of the Past Tense[baguhin | baguhin ang batayan]
In Moroccan Arabic, the past tense is formed by adding certain endings to the base form of the verb. The base form of the verb is the form that you would find in a dictionary or verb list. To form the past tense, you need to add the following endings:
Base Form | Past Tense Endings | Example |
---|---|---|
ktab | -t | ktabt (I wrote) |
ktib | -t | ktibt (you wrote) |
ktub | -u | ktubu (he wrote) |
As you can see from the table above, the past tense endings change depending on the subject of the sentence.
It's important to note that there are some irregular verbs in Moroccan Arabic that do not follow this pattern. However, we will focus on regular verbs in this lesson.
Examples[baguhin | baguhin ang batayan]
Here are some examples of regular verbs in the past tense:
Moroccan Arabic | Pronunciation | Tagalog |
---|---|---|
ktabt | k-ta-bt | sumulat ako |
ktibt | k-tib-t | sumulat ka |
ktubu | k-tu-bu | sumulat siya |
You can see that the past tense endings have been added to the base form of the verb to create the past tense.
