تَعْمَلُونَdo

Example sentences

• جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا ﴿هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ﴾

  A fitting recompense. Will you be recompensed except for what you used to do?

  تَعْمَلُونَ — you do. A present-tense verb ('you do') with the 'you (plural)' subject in its -na ending, teamed with the 'used to' verb before it to make a 'used to do' habitual past. On its own it would be plain present, but the pairing shifts it into the ongoing past. The two verbs together carry one tense.
