In this part of the lesson we will Insha Allah learn the conversion of a singular past form of the verb to the plural verb. In English the Past form of the verb does not change in plural form.  E.g. "I walked to the park" becomes "We walked to the park".  However, In Arabic different letters are added at the end of the original verb and sometimes even the vowel ending is also changed to change a verb into plural form. In this part we will only learn to change a singular verb for "you" to the plural verb.

For the past tense of a verb i.e., الْفِعْلُ الْمَاضِي the following rules are applied

When a singular (masculine) verb is changed to a plural the vowel ending fatha is replaced with a dhamma on the letter تَ and a letter meem with a jazm (we will cover this term later Insha'Allah)- i.e. sukun  on it is added as the last letter so ذَهَبْتَ will be changed to ذَهَبَتُمْ.
