يشربdrink

Example sentences

• وَكَانَ يشرب الْخمر ويجلده النَّبِي

  And he used to drink alcohol, and the Prophet would lash him.

  يَشْرَبُ — he drinks. This is a present-tense verb with a built-in 'he' subject, paired with the earlier 'was' to give the habitual 'he used to drink'. The present tense inside that frame is what conveys a repeated habit rather than a single act.
