Groups acting now

Contrast -ūna with feminine -na for you and they.

Three or more people

أنتم and هم take ـُونَ for a male or mixed group. أنتنّ and هنّ take ـْنَ for an all-female group. The feminine plural stem has sukun before نَ; do not double that verb ن.

هُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ / هُنَّ يَكْتُبْنَ

Keep the pronoun first

These tasks use an explicit subject pronoun before a fully agreeing verb. They do not introduce the separate agreement rules for a verb before a plural noun.
