I do, we do

New tense, familiar actions

These present forms express habits or actions happening now, according to context. Learn each present stem explicitly: the past form alone does not predict its middle vowel. The five verbs remain write, study, open, enter and go.

I and we

I begins with أَ; we begins with نَ. In these indicative forms, the final damma is -u. Pronouns can often be omitted, but ordering tasks ask you to retain them. Present-form typing here requires all the guide's vowel signs.
