Giving and Receiving — الْإِعْطَاءُ وَالْأَخْذُ

Level: Beginner · Arabic root: ع ط و

Teach the common verb a'ta through natural everyday situations involving giving, handing something to another person, giving a gift, and returning a borrowed item.

Key vocabulary:

• أَعْطَى — he gave
• يُعْطِي — he gives
• أَعْطِ — give
• أَعْطَيْتُ — I gave
• هَدِيَّةٌ — a gift
• يَدٌ — a hand

Your child practises: reading fully vowelled Arabic words (with tashkeel); breaking words into syllables; reading complete sentences and a short story; verb conjugation; comprehension questions and practice games; dictation and handwriting copywork; meeting the root in a Qur'an verse — with the teacher's own recorded voice on every word.
