Questions & Answers about تتطور المهارة مع العمل.
Why does the verb تتطور start with two ت's?
Because it is a Form V verb in the present tense, conjugated for a 'she/it' subject. Form V verbs already start with a ت in their base past-tense form (like تطوّر). When you add the present tense prefix for 'she/it', which is also ت, you get two ت's back-to-back: تتطور (tatatawwaru).
Form V verbs often imply a gradual process or a reflexive action. Is that the case here?
Yes! In Form V, تطوّر means 'to develop' or 'to evolve' (literally, taking oneself through phases). This perfectly fits the idea of a skill improving gradually over time alongside work.
Why is the verb conjugated as 'she develops' (تتطور) instead of 'he develops' (يتطور)?
In Arabic, verbs must match the gender of their subject. The subject here is المهارة (the skill), which is feminine because it ends in a taa marbuuta (ة). Therefore, the verb takes the 3rd person feminine singular prefix تـ.
Could I use بِـ (by/with) instead of مع (with) in this sentence?
مع (ma'a) is better here because it means 'along with' or 'in company with', implying that as work happens, skill develops alongside it. بِـ (bi) usually means 'by means of' or 'using a tool', like writing with a pen, which doesn't fit the natural progression described in this sentence.
