Arabic vocabulary
تَصْنَعُ is how you say “do” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
قَالَ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ بِكَ،
He said that she used to do that to you.
تصنع — she does. This present-shape verb carries its 'she' subject inside it and supplies the action inside the 'used to' frame set up by the past 'was' before it. So it describes a repeated past practice, not a present one. It means she habitually did the same caring for him long ago.
