تصريف الفعل المضارع— Present Tense Full Conjugation

Unlike the past tense, the present tense is marked by a PREFIX — one of أ / ن / ي / ت— plus sometimes a suffix. The default مرفوع ending is a ـُ (or ثبوت النون for the five-verb forms). The prefix follows the person: أ=أنا, ن=نحن, ي=هو/هم/هنّ, andت=أنتَ/أنتِ/هي and the rest of the "you" forms.
