Example sentences

• فَغَضِبْتُ لِقَوْلِهَا وَحَمَلْتُهَا بِسُكْرَى وَرَمَيْتُ بِهَا فِي التَّنُّورِ

  I became angry at what she said, I carried her while she was intoxicated, and I threw her into the oven.

  وَرَمَيْتُ — and I threw. The fused wa- is 'and', continuing the chain of his actions, on a past-tense verb with the -tu 'I'. It matches the earlier 'and I carried': the wa- keeps stacking parallel deeds in the same first-person past, building the momentum of the crime without ordering the steps as tightly as fa- would.

• رَمَيْتُ بِهَا فِي التَنُّورِ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ

  I threw her into the oven, and she burned.

  رَمَيْتُ — I threw. A past-tense verb with the -tu ending fixing 'I' as the subject, 'I threw'. This verb grips its object through the preposition that follows rather than directly, so on its own it just names the throwing act and the doer; the next word supplies what was thrown.
