    Formula for the Rule of Negation with "Lam" (لَمْ) in Arabic

    Formula and Explanation

    • The negation tool "Lam" (لَمْ) follows a specific formula that combines "Lam" with a present tense verb, resulting in a past negative meaning.
    • The formula is: لَمْ + الفعل المُضارع المَجْزُوم (Lam + Present Tense Verb in Jussive Case)

    Steps to Apply the Rule

    • Start with "Lam" (لَمْ), which is the negation particle that indicates past negation.
    • Add the present tense verb, which must be converted to the jussive (Majzum) form.
    • Convert the present tense verb to the jussive case (Majzum) by dropping the final vowel or adding a sukun (ْ) on the last letter if it's not already present.

    Example Breakdown

    • Affirmative sentence: سافرنا في العُطْلة الصَّيفية. (We traveled on summer vacation.)
    • Negative sentence using "Lam": لَمْ نُسافرْ في العُطْلة الصَّيفية. (We didn’t travel on summer vacation.)
    • Verb: سافر (to travel)
    • Subject: نَحْنُ (we)

    Conversion to Jussive Case

    • Original present tense: نُسافر (nusafir)
    • In jussive case: نُسافرْ (nusafirْ), dropping the final vowel (damma "ُ")

    Summary of the Rule

    • Formula: لَمْ + الفعل المُضارع المَجْزُوم (Lam + Present Tense Verb in Jussive Case)
    • Example sentence structure:
      • Affirmative: سافرنا في العُطْلة الصَّيفية.
      • Negative with "Lam": لَمْ نُسافرْ في العُطْلة الصَّيفية.
