LessonsComplete Imperfect Paradigm: Active, Passive, Affirmative and NegativeQuiz

The negative active first-person forms are:
Singular: لَا أَفْعَلُ — I do not / will not do.
Plural: لَا نَفْعَلُ — we do not / will not do.
أَفْعَلُ → لَا أَفْعَلُ preserves the hamzah prefix and the indicative final ḍammah.
نَفْعَلُ → لَا نَفْعَلُ preserves the first-person plural nūn.
Arabic does not give separate masculine/feminine verbal endings for first-person imperfects; translation depends on speaker and context.
The negative passive first-person paradigm contains:
Singular: لَا أُفْعَلُ — I am not / will not be acted upon.
Plural: لَا نُفْعَلُ — we are not / will not be acted upon.
لَا أَفْعَلُ is negative active: the speaker is the doer.
لَا أُفْعَلُ is negative passive: the action is predicated of the speaker, without stating the agent.
Four full imperfect paradigms occupy 14 × 4 = 56 positions, although some surface forms recur across different pronouns.
