Hi Kambitas, to read means in Arabic يقرأ . (present tens) You get confused may be because the infinitive form in Arabic is usually similar to the perfect tens. In this case قرأ . أنا قرأتُ أنتَ قرأتَ أنتِ قرأتِ هو قرأ هي قرأَت أنتما قرأتما هما قرآ هما قرأتا نحن قرأنا أنتم قرأتم أنتن قرأتن هم قرأوا هن قرأن

if i got the question right.. for the past: قرأ (M) قرأت (F) for the present: يقرأ (M) تقرأ (F) noun: القراءه

hi , you may got confused as some sites mix MSA with others dialect (example Egyptian with MSA ) , which site do you study from ? when you get confused return to the word root then start adding and modifying keep it simple, I'm sure you know that Arabic and Spanish are very similar , in Spanish when you start conjugating a verb you add an ending " yo leo " - ( o ) same in Arabic but we add it at the beginning ( أ - يـ - ت )( a - y - T ) yet we add an ending to express plural , dual and feminine words ( ون / ين /ان / ن ) ,I'm not good at explaining and sometime I make it harder than it sounds yet you may check this chart that I have made , I hope it make it easy http://imgur.com/a/MeqHA وبالتوفيق
