A verb is a word that indicates a state, for example حَسُنَ or an action, for example: یأخُذُ in the past, present, or future. There are three types of verbs: preterit, aorist, and imperative.

A preterit tense verb is a verb that indicates a state or action that happened in the past, for example: کَرُمَ An aorist tense verb is a verb that indicates a state or action that is happening in the present or will happen in the future.

For example: یَحسُنُ Point: an aorist tense verb is specifically used for the future when a sīn or سوف is added to the beginning of it, for example: سأکتُبُ Point: It indicates the past when it comes after the jussive لَم or لَمَّا , for example: زُُرتُکَ و لم تکن في البیتِ An aorist tense verb is formed from the preterite form by adding an aorist letter to the beginning of it.

This letter has a dummah if it is quadriliteral, for example: یُزَخرِفُ and it has a fathah in any other case, for example: یَلمَعُ If the preterite form is triliteral, the first root letter is given and sakūn and the second root letter is given a dummah, fathah, or kasrah . For example: یَنصُرُ ، یَفتَحُ ، یَجلِسُ If the preterite form is not triliteral and it has an additional tā' added to the beginning, it will remain the same, for example: یَتَعَلَّمُ.

If this is not the case the glottal stop at the beginning will be erased and the letter before the last letter will be given a kasrah , for example: یُرسِلُ The imperative tense verb is a verb that asks for a state or action in the future. For example: اُکتُب. There are two types of imperatives: imperative by form and imperative by lām . The imperative by form is only used with the second person in the active voice, for example: اِجتَهِد.
