Today, let's explore the key verb 'to read.' While it may seem a bit tricky, it's essential. This verb, derived from قَرَأَ (qara'a), consists of three crucial letters. In spoken Arabic, we often skip the 'qaaf' and disregard the final 'hamza,' pronouncing it as 'araa.' On the other hand, in Classical Arabic (Fus7a), we emphasize the 'qaaaf' and pronounce the final 'hamza' (ء), making it 'Qara'.
Now, I'll guide you through past, present, and future tenses, providing examples for a clearer understanding. "
