Example sentences

• تَقُولُ إِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ يَنْشُدْنَكَ اللَّهَ الْعَدْلَ فِي بِنْتِ أَبِ بَكْرِ،

  She says that your wives implore you, by God, for justice for the daughter of Abu Bakr.

  تَقُولُ — she says. A present-tense verb with the 'she' subject built into its prefix, opening a layer of quoted speech inside the message. The prefix marks third-person feminine, so no separate pronoun is needed; it introduces what the wives say.

  And she said, "Allah did something to so-and-so, and did..."

  تَقُولُ — she says. This is a present-shape verb 'she says/was saying' with 'she' inside it, and its present form paints an ongoing, in-progress action against the past background. So it describes her as in the middle of speaking when observed.
