Vowels of the Present Tense Verb

Vowels of the Present Tense Verb. There are three important vowels you need to take note of when you conjugate any Arabic verb from past tense to the present tense. These include:

                   1. The Subject marker vowel, which is the first vowel of the verb;

                   2. The Stem Vowel, which is the vowel that goes on the second                                     radical/consonant of the root;

                   3. The Mood Marker Vowel, which is the last vowel of the verb.
