الفاعل والمفعول به— Verb Sentence Basics

Every verbal sentence rests on a فعل (verb), its فاعل (subject — always مرفوع, appearing after the verb), and often a مفعول به (object — always منصوب). Standard word order is verb-subject-object, a verb takes only ONE فاعل, and verbs split into متعدٍ (transitive, takes an object) and لازم (intransitive). Every conjugated form is built from a three-consonant root skeleton like ف-ع-ل.
