This book presents 282 tables of Classical and Modern Arabic Verbs. These fully conjugated tables are used as paradigms for other verbs. Each table represents a very clear and typical example of a particular type of verb. For example, kataba - yaktubu (written in Arabic in the boo) is characterised by its perfect having Fatha as the vowel of its second radical and its imperfect having Damma as the vowel of the second radical. This verb is a sound simple triliteral verb and it is given in this book as a paradigm for any sound simple triliteral verb whose perfect is distinguished by Fatha as the vowel of its second radical and Damma as the vowel of its imperfect's second radical.

In additon to showing the active and passive voices of verbs, the tables also give the roots, the active and passive participles and the verbal Nouns of both the simple and derived forms of classical and modern Arabic verbs.

The book is suitable for students and scholars of all ages. Older students can use it unaided to conjugate any Arabic verb found in dictionaries. Teachers, researchers and scholars of Arabic Language and Literature can use it as a quick reference guide to conjugate verbs and to provide drills for their younger students.

• Prefixes and suffixes of Arabic Verbs: In Arabic, the grammatical person and number as well as the mood is designated by a variety of prefixes and suffixes. Most Arabic verbs are regular and follow the set patterns.

• Perfects of Arabic Verbs: In the perfect form, the perfect stem fa'al is affixed with a personal ending, e. g. kataba 'he wrote', qara'a 'he read'. The perfect expresses a completed action, i.e. mostly past tense.

• Imperfects of Arabic Verbs: The imperfect expresses an action in progress, i.e. mostly present tense. There are several vowel patterns (a-a, a-u,a-i) the root can take. The root takes a prefix as well as a suffix to build the verb form. E. g. yaktubu 'he is writing'. Note the co-incidence of 3rd f. sg. and 2nd m. sg.

• Moods of Arabic Verbs: From the imperfect stem, modal forms can be derived: the subjunctive by (roughly speaking) replacing the final vowel by a, the jussive by dropping this a of the subjunctive, and the imperative (only 2nd person) also by dropping the verbal prefix. The subjunctive is used in subordinate clauses after certain conjunctions. The jussive is used in negation, in negative imperatives, and in the hortative li+jussive. For example: 2. sg. m.: imperfect indicative taf'alu 'you are doing' subjunctive an taf'ala 'that you do' jussive lā taf'al 'do not!' imperative if'al 'do!'.

• Voices Arabic Verbs Arabic has two verbal voices, active and passive. The passive voice is expressed by a change in vocalization and is normally not expressed in unvocalized writing. For example: active fa'ala 'he did', yaf'alu 'he is doing' فَعَلَ passive fu'ila 'it was done', yuf'alu 'it is being done' فُعِلَ

• Weak Arabic Verbs: Roots containing one or two of the radicals w (waw), y (ya) or hamza are subject to special phonological rules because these radicals can be influenced by their surroundings. Such verbs are called 'weak' (verba infirmae, 'verbs of weak [radical]) and their paradigms must be given special attention. In the case of hamza, these peculiarities are mainly orthographical, since hamza is not subject to elision (the orthography of hamza and alif is unsystematic due to confusion in early Islamic times). According to the position of the weak radical in the root, these verbs are called primae infirmae, mediae infirmae or tertiae infirmae. Another special class of roots are such that their second and third radicals are identical. These roots are called mediae geminatae.

• Stem formation of Arabic Verbs: "Derived" verbs are those which do not have just three consonants in the perfect tense, namely, all verbs unless the primary verbs (those like kataba). As for instance, verbs such as kattaba, kātaba, inkataba, takattaba are called "derived" verbs. Semantically, we would like to be able to say that the meaning of the "derived" verbs somehow "derives" from the meaning of the primary, by operations like the intensive, reflexive, and causative, but in fact the actual meaning of all verbs is unpredictable and needs to be recorded in the lexicon. Classical Arabic has a great number of derived stems, not all of which are still in use. For the modern language, it is mostly sufficient to consider stems I-VIII and X, plus IX for verbs meaning "whiten", "blacken", "yellowen" and so on.

• Participles of Arabic Verbs: The Arabic participle is a verbal noun formed from one of the derived verbal stems. E.g. mu'allimun 'teacher' is the active participle to stem II. of the root a-l-m ('know'). The passive participle to Stem I is maf''ulun Stems II-X take prefix mu- and nominal endings (e.g. II. mu-fa'il-un.)

• Infinitives  of Arabic Verbs: There is a second type of verbal noun besides the participle that is referred to as 'infinitive' because it often translates to infinitive constructions in Indo-European languages. It is strictly speaking not an infinitive, it would be more correct to speak of "verbal noun I" and "verbal noun II", but the name infinitive is too widespread to abandon it. It is popularly referred to as "masdar". infinitive formation to stem I is irregular. the infinitive to stem II is taf'īlun. stems III-X simply take nominal endings (for stem III, the passive participle is often substituted). As for instance, the stem ista`mal, by simply taking nominal endings, becomes isti`maal.
