Among the verbs of action in Arabic, there are many verbs that have multiple meanings, sometimes used in their original meaning, and sometimes in completely different meanings. The original meaning of the verb is associated mainly with the subject's normal state, while other meanings serve to express his emotional state. When studying the lexical-semantic connections associated with action verbs in Arabic, it is important to pay special attention to the prepositions with which these verbs are used, since a particular action verb may require different prepositions depending on whether the object to which the action is directed is animate or inanimate.
