Example sentence
فَقَالَ عُمَرُ الآنَ أَكُونُ أَدْرَكْتُ أُمِّي،
Then Umar said, "Have I now reached my mother?"
أَكُونُ have I
This is a present-shape form of the 'be / become' verb with the 'I' subject built in, here used with a following past verb to build a 'have I...' resultative sense. On its own it just carries the 'I am/become' frame; the real event comes in the verb it leans on. So it sets up Umar musing whether he has now requited his own mother.

لَيْتَنِي أَكُونُ حَيًّا ذَكَرَ حَرْفًا
I wish I were alive to hear him mention a single letter.
أَكُونُ I were
A present-tense 'to be' in the first person, 'I am / I would be', with the 'I' folded into its shape. Sitting under the wish that opened the sentence, it carries the longing: the speaker imagines himself still living to witness the event, not stating that he is.
فَأَكُونُ ثَالِثَكُمَا
So I will be the third with you two.
فَأَكُونُ So I will be
Two pieces: fa- 'so/then', drawing a consequence, plus a present-tense verb 'I will be' in the first person, its 'I' carried inside. The fa- ties this result to the forbidden situation just described, 'so I would be...'. The verb keeps its full indicative ending, signalling a plain future statement.
