Example sentences

• وَأَعْلَنَ التَّائِبُونَ بِالصِّيَاحِ، وَتَسَاقَطُوا عَلَيْهِ تَسَاقُطُ الْفِرَاشِ عَلَى الْمِصْبَاحِ،

  The repentant cried out, and they fell upon him like moths falling on a lamp.

  وَتَسَاقَطُوا — and they fell. The wa- on the front is the linking 'and'. The verb is a past-tense plural with the -u ending that carries the 'they' (masculine plural) inside it, so no separate 'they' word is needed; the subject is folded into the verb's shape.
