● What is a verb?
● A kalimah that indicates an action occurring in connection with a time. The time may be past, present, or future.
● Examples:
○ ضَرَبَ = he hit (it contains both the action of hitting and past time).
○ كَتَبَ = he wrote (the action of writing is connected to past time).
○ ذَهَبَ = he went (the action of going is connected to past time).
○ جَلَسَ = he sat (the action of sitting is connected to past time).
○ فَتَحَ = he opened (the action of opening is connected to past time).
○ نَصَرَ = he helped (the action of helping is connected to past time).
● Difference: 'hitting' is a noun (verbal noun (maṣdar)) because it only names the action, while 'he hit' is a verb (fiʿl) because it includes time.
