فَعَلْتَyou did

Example sentences

• ولكنك فعلت ليقال جواد، فقد قيل، ثم أُمر به فسُحب على وجهه ثم ألقي في النار

  But you did it so that he would be called generous; so it was said. Then an order was issued about him; he was dragged on his face and then thrown into the fire.

  فَعَلْتَ — you did. A past-tense verb 'did' carrying a built-in 'you' (masculine singular) as subject in its -ta ending. It is the main verb of the contrast clause - 'but you did [it]'. The subject lives inside the verb, so the accusation needs no separate pronoun, and the bare verb already pins the action on the listener.
