Remember “to give.” • When you say فَاعِل (doer), show it with your right hand as if you are giving, i.e., doing somthing. • When you say مَفْعُول (the one who is affected), show it with your right hand as if you are receiving something, i.e., affected by the help. • While saying فعل (to do), show it with your right hand by making a fist raised high as if you are showing the power of action.

14. Plurals… مُسْلِم مُسْلِمُون، مُسْلِمِين فَاعِل فَاعِلُون، فَاعِلِين مَفْعُول مَفْعُولُون، مَفْعُولِين
