Example sentence

وأعوذ بالله أن أكون قد ضيعت الزمان في نعت بطلة الطلبة ،

And I seek refuge in God from having wasted time in praising a useless student,

ضَيَّعْتُ I wasted

This is a past-tense verb, 'I wasted', with the attached -tu 'I' as its subject. The first-person doer rides as that suffix, and marked by qad before it the verb reads as a settled 'I have wasted'; no separate 'I' word is needed.
