Every present tense verb, ryhmes with one of these, which are varying in conjugations depending ​on who we are talking about. We remember those rhymes because we want to remember the change in diacritics from the base form (past S male) :

​​أنا أَفْعَلُ

هو يَفْعَلُ

هي تَفْعَلُ

أنتَ ​تَفْعَلُ

أنتِ تَفْعَلِيْنَ​

أنتم تَفْعَلُوْنَ

هم ​يَفْعَلُوْنَ

نحنُ نَفْعَلُ​

​In case we had a verb beginning with the letter (ا), we replace (ا) with the pesent conjugation instead of just putting the conjugation before it as we do with other words. Example:

Past: اسْتَعمَلَ

Present: يَسْتَعْمِلُ​
