This post deals with conjugation of verbs that have a medial vowel ( )ا. They are called hollow verbs(
)الفعل األجوف, e.g. ( ‘ )نامslept’, ( ‘ )باعsold’, ( ‘ )قامgot up’, etc. In the past tense, the medial vowel
disappears with some pronouns, i.e. first and second person pronouns in addition to the third person
feminine plural pronoun. The examples below give examples of three verbs conjugated in the past.
