Why is there more than
one present?
In Arabic, we have one way to express
actions in the present.
We don’t know from the verb if it is happening now
or it happens usually.
‫ توجد لدينا طريقة واحدة للتعبير عن المضارع‬,‫باللغة العربية‬
We watch movies together
:‫الجملة‬
‫ نحن نشاهد األفالم معا بشكل عام‬: ‫نستطيع أن نفسرها بطريقتين‬
‫نحن نشاهد األفالم معا االن‬
