+. '''I will go to the market.'''
-Additionally, it is interesting to note that Tamazight is an Afro-Asiatic language and has influenced the Arabic spoken in Morocco. Therefore, some irregular future tense verbs in Tamazight may have counterparts in Moroccan Arabic, although the conjugation patterns may differ.
+* Tamazight: ''nɣa d suɣ misur.''
-== Practice Exercises ==
