In this section we will Insha Allah learn the parts of the verbal sentences and their cases. We will also learn the present form of a verb. We have already learnt that a verbal sentence has three parts (Lesson No. 4 section 12)

• فِعْلٌ (A verb - the action being performed),

• فَاعِلٌ (A subject - the person or thing doing the action) and

• مَفْعُولٌ (A object - the thing upon which the action is done).

We have learnt that the verb refers to three tenses (periods):

• Past الْفِعْلُ الْمَاضِيُ

• Present الْفِعْلُ الْمُضَارِعُ and

• Future الْفِعْلُ الْمُسْتَقْبِلُ.
   

In this section we will learn about the present form of the verb يُحِبُّ meaning "Likes or Loves". The present form of the verb always take nominative case but a single dhamma it never takes two dhammas.  We have also learnt in the previous lesson that the object of a verbal sentence takes the accusative case i.e., it takes single fatha when definite and double fatha (Fathatain) when indefinite. When we say

• يُحِبُّ أَكْبَرُ الْكِتَابَةَ (Akbar loves writing)

  in this sentence يُحِبُّ means likes which is a verb أَكْبَرُ is the subject therefore it takes the nominative case and الْكِتَابَةَ is the object which takes the accusative case. But when we say

• نُحِبُّ دِيْنَنَا  (We love our religion)

   The word نُحِبُّ means "we love", so "love" is the verb and "we" are the subject whereas our religion is the object and therefore it must take the accusative case. Now if we look at this example carefully we see that the word دِيْنَنَا  is basically دِيْنَ - نَا so the word دِيْنَ take the accusative case and since it is annexed with a pronoun so it is Mudhaf and can not take tanwin.
   

However, when a pronoun is the object of some verb, it does not take accusative case because the pronouns are generally indeclinable therefore they do not change their cases. Lets take some examples to better understand the rule:
