Rate this lesson: 
Unlike most European languages, Arabic does not use the verb "be", because it is a dummy word. You can make a fully comprehensive sentence without using the verb "be".
However, there are some cases where the verb "be" and its sisters (كان و أخواتها) can be used for changing the tenses.
