More example sentences
وَأَخَذُْوا مَجَالِسَهُمْ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ
And they held their gatherings in the house.
وَأَخَذُوا and they held
This opens with the connector 'and' on a past verb with the plural 'they' ending, here idiomatically 'they took up / held'. The 'and' links it to the prior action. The plural subject is in the verb's ending.
فَإِنَّكَ مَتَى إِلْتَفَتَّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَخَذُوْكَ وَعَاقُوْكَ
For whenever you turn to them, they seize you and hold you back.
أَخَذُوكَ they seized you
A completed-action verb 'they seized', carrying both its plural 'they' subject and the object -ka ('you') stuck on the end, so subject and object both ride inside one word. As the response to the 'whenever' it states what follows each time you turn. Arabic folds the whole 'they-seized-you' into a single form.
