Questions & Answers about أتبع التعليمات حتى أنضم إلى الفريق.

How would this sentence be fully vowelized and pronounced?

A fully vowelized version is:

أَتَّبِعُ التَّعْلِيماتِ حَتّى أَنْضَمَّ إِلَى الفَرِيقِ.

A helpful pronunciation guide is:

ʾattabiʿu at-taʿlīmāti ḥattā ʾanḍamma ʾilā al-farīqi

Two useful pronunciation notes:

• In التعليمات, the ل of الـ is not pronounced, because ت is a sun letter, so it sounds like at-taʿlīmāt.
• In الفريق, the ل is pronounced, because ف is a moon letter, so it sounds like al-farīq.

What verb is أتبع here?

Here أتبع is the 1st person singular imperfect form of اتّبع.

So the dictionary form is:

اتّبع = to follow

And the form in the sentence is:

أَتَّبِعُ = I follow

This is a very common verb in MSA for following instructions, rules, advice, a method, etc.

A learner may confuse it with other similar-looking forms from the same root, but here the intended form is clearly اتّبع / يتّبع.

Where is the word I in the sentence?

Arabic often does need an explicit subject pronoun when the verb already shows the subject.
