The Variation of the Imperfect Verb's Case Endings and Its Impact on Meaning

Abstract

Syntactic variation in verbs only occurs in the present tense, while past and imperative verbs do not experience this variation because they are built and are not affected by the factors affecting them. The present tense verb is affected by the factors that influence it, which leads to a variety of meanings. One of the obvious signs of the variation in the syntactic structure of the present tense verb is its occurrence after the verbal noun (an), which is of three types. There are guidelines for raising and lowering the present tense based on the grammatical rule that states that a lightened form of a heavy verb cannot be with verbs of doubt and greed, nor can a verb that lowers a verb be with knowledge or anything similar in meaning. The difference in the syntax of the present tense verb and its direction after (aw) and (hatta) creates a clear difference between the two functions of nominative and accusative, as the order of the speech differs according to the difference in its context, which is followed by a difference in meaning.
