We’ll continue this week, in shā’ Allāh, by reading and reviewing last week’s material as well as looking at a couple of new PDF’s and videos on (1) how to improve our reading without tashkīl (تشكيل/vowel markings) and (2) how to look for the signs of the past tense verb and its inflections.

Here’s the full video of Session Three.

Reading Materials for Session Three:

Signs of the Past Tense Verb – Examples Sentences & Paragraphs [PDF].

Use this PDF along with the two videos below to guide you through how to improve your reading without tashkīl and also how to look for the signs of the past tense verb. This is meant to be like a worksheet.
