A Hundred and One Rules in Arabic Grammar!

  1. The Moody Present Tense. ============================

Present tense verbs are said to be in theIndicative Mood . However, verbs which express hope, desire, purpose, like, dislike, doubt, fear, uncertainty, obligations, etc., change their mood from the regularIndicative to theSubjunctive . That also requires that they should follow one of the Subjunctive particles, such as    .  **لکي ، کيلا ، لـِ ، أن ، لـَن ، حتـَّی ، کي ** Note the purpose expressed in the following sentence:

**ذهبتُ إلی المکتبَةِ لأدرُسَ هُناكَ .**

I went to the library so that I would study there.
