10 sentence model story illustrating the 10 Arabic measures

Arabic conjugates verbs based on causality.  Actions in Arabic are not seen through the viewpoint of individuals making independent choices, rather, actions are viewed as complex movements driving by various forces of causality that may or may not include the subject of the verb.  We will explore this in depth over time.  For now, let us start with an outstanding illustration of the nature of the 10 measures played out in a model text from the book Modern Arabic.  Explanations from this grammar reference are also included.
