'Tis all a chequer-board of nights and days
Where the destiny of men for pieces plays:
Hither and thither moves, and mates, and slays,
And one by one back in the closet lays.
- - Rubiyat of Omar Khayyam

Arabic Verb Conjugation

The following document is one that I designed during my Arabic classes at Westchester Community College. This Microsoft Excel spreadsheet is designed to list Arab verbs covered in my class, and breakdown each form of conjugation based on pronoun used. I have created a tab for present and past tense. There is no formal future tense in Arabic, which simple adds "sa-" to the beginning of the present tense verb to denote future action.
