أَخْشَىI fear

Example sentences

• وَلَكِنَّنِي أَخْشَى أَنْ أُؤْسَرَ فَقَالَ أَنَّكَ لَنْ تُؤْسَرَ

  But I fear that I will be taken captive. He said, "You will not be taken captive."

  أَخْشَى — I fear. This is a present-tense verb with 'I' built into its prefix, expressing an ongoing fear. Its built-in doer is why no separate 'I' is written. The clause it introduces, the thing feared, follows behind a linking particle.
