Regular verbs: mixed review

Twenty mixed questions covering all five verbs and every subject form.

The idea

First identify the subject, then choose the ending. Look closely at short versus long vowels and at -at versus -ta. The five verb stems stay familiar while pronouns change. This is a grammar checkpoint on your way toward A2, not a complete A2 assessment.

كَتَبَ

kataba — he wrote

A small ending carries a lot

Compare katabtu (I), katabta (you, one male), katabti (you, one female), and katabat (she). These short vowels are part of the grammar, not optional clues.

كَتَبْتُ

katabtu — I wrote

Keep the vowel length

Katabna (female they) ends in a short a. Katabnaa (we) ends in long aa. Katabuu (male or mixed they) ends in long uu, with a silent written alif.

كَتَبْنَا

katabnaa — we wrote
