Present Tense

A verb is a word that expresses an action, a condition or a state of being. Verbs have different forms to indicate if the action happened in the past, is currently happening, or will happen in the future. The present tense of a verb is used to indicate that an action, condition or state is:

  • currently happening
  • a general fact or truth
  • habitual, everyday, or expected to continue for an unknown amount of time into the future.

The following table shows the present tense for the regular verb walk. Most verbs follow this pattern.

To Walk (مشى)

Sound I walk انا امشى
Sound you walk انت تمشي
Sound he walks يمشي
Sound she walks تمشى
Sound it walks يمشي
Sound we walk نحن سيرا على الأقدام
Sound they walk أنهم يسيرون

Verbs - Present Progressive Tense

In English there is also the present progressive tense, also called the present continuous, to indicate that an action is happening in the present. This is is used to emphasize that an action is happening right at this moment, or is happening now but only for a short amount of time.

The present progressive tense is formed using to be with the verb, and adding ing to the end of the verb. For example I am walking. Contractions are often used in this case. For example I'm walking.

Listen I am walking أنا على المشي الآن
Listen you are walking كنت المشي الآن
Listen he is walking كان يسير الآن
Listen she is walking هي يسير الآن
Listen it is walking يسير الآن
Listen we are walking ونحن نسير
Listen they are walking إنهم يمشون
