1.3  The Form I verb (like the ones above) consists of three root letters.  The command form of these verbs are constructed by prefixing اِ  in front.  In order to identify the root letters we have to remove the اِ .  The root letters of اِقْرَأْ  is thus قرأ.  Similarly the root letters of اِنْجَحْ is نجح , and so on.
1.4.1  The (Form I) Past Tense Verb is formed from the root letters by adding three fatħahs (in the case of these examples).
