The verb with the pronouns – الْفِعْلُ مَعَ الضَّمَائِرِ
- In this lesson we will learn about the form of verb when attached with the pronouns In-Shā’-Allâh (God-Willing). We have already learnt two simple verbs in (Lesson No. 4 section 12) which are:
- ذَهَبَ meaning “Went”.
- خَرَجَ meaning “Went out”.
- Let’s see the form of the verb when it is attached to different pronouns:

- In this lesson we will learn about the vowel ending of the masculine nouns resembling the feminine nouns In-Shā’-Allâh (God-Willing). We have learnt that the feminine nouns have no tanwīn on their last letter e.g.: آمِنَةُ، فَاطِمَةُ، عَائِشَةُ etc. Similarly there are certain masculine proper nouns that have ة (tā’ marbūŧah) as their last letter – therefore they also do not have tanwīn on their last letter, e.g.: حَمْزَةُ، مُعَاوِيَةُ، حَنْظَلَةُ etc.
- Let’s take some examples to better understand the rule:

· In this lesson we will also learn the use of “مَا” as a negative particle In-Shā’-Allâh (God-Willing). We have learnt the use of “مَا” as an interrogative (questioning) article in (Lesson No. 1 section 3).
