Questions & Answers about أريد تحقيق الهدف اليوم.
How does this sentence use a verbal noun instead of أن (that)?
This sentence uses the verbal noun (Masdar) تحقيق (achieving) as the direct object of أريد (I want). In earlier lessons, you learned to say أريد أن أحقق (I want to achieve / I want that I achieve). Using the explicit Masdar instead of the أن clause is a very common, slightly more concise alternative that means the exact same thing.
Why is there no preposition between تحقيق (achieving) and الهدف (the goal)?
Because تحقيق الهدف forms an Idafa (possessive construction), literally translating to "the achieving of the goal." When a verbal noun acts on a definite object like this, it typically connects directly to it using an Idafa, so no extra preposition is needed.
How do I know the verb that corresponds to the verbal noun تحقيق?
The word تحقيق follows the highly regular تَفْعيل pattern, which is the standard verbal noun shape for Form II verbs. This pattern tells us the core past tense verb is حقّق (he achieved).
If I read this aloud with full case endings (Tashkeel), what are the vowels on the ends of the words?
