iMasterArabic Level 4 (B1/B2) | Arabic Verb Forms Workbook

Once you can hold a conversation in Arabic, verbs are usually what hold you back. This book takes you through all ten verb forms, side by side in Modern Standard Arabic and Levantine Arabic. You see how the same root works in a news report and in everyday speech.

Each chapter explains a group of forms (II and III, then IV, then V, VI and X, then VII, VIII and IX), including the hollow and defective verbs that trip up most learners. A full set of exercises follows. You practice with real material: Arabic songs, MSA news reports, a visit to the doctor, a restaurant in Syria, letters between Hoda and her mother, and the story of Juha, the donkey and the king.

What’s inside:

• All ten verb forms in MSA and Levantine, with conjugation tables
• The subjunctive (المضارع المنصوب), and how to say “would like to”
• Vocabulary for the body, health and describing people
• Ordinal numbers and telling the time
• Listening, reading, translation and conversation exercises, plus speed-conjugation drills
• Appendices: verb lists for every form, an overview table of Forms I to X, and the active participles

For B1/B2 learners who read Arabic script and want to stop hesitating over verbs and start using them with confidence.

The audio for all listening exercises and the answer keys (PDF) are available as a download with the book, so you can also study on your own.
