ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the noun-verb paradigm chart with exercises. The schematic outline of the 10 tri-literal verb form comprises rows numbered. Each cell in the paradigm chart contains an entry showing variations on the tri-literal root radicals. Given the central part played by the derivational system of Arabic, verbs are more efficiently dealt with in a tabular form exposition that shows meaningful differences between words. While perhaps dry, the tables given in the chapter are in fact liberating; understanding how to use them is the key to unlocking the true meaning of concepts and information conveyed in an Arabic script. These tables empower readers to extrapolate meaning, even from words they've never seen before. In addition, the Arabic dictionary does not list words in alphabetical order based on their spelling. To find a word in an Arabic dictionary, one must be able to remove markings and suffixes to arrive at the root radicals, most likely three consonants.
