Is this verb conjugation correct?
two verbs in question are
شَغَلَ to busy, to take one attention
شَغّلَ to start up, turn on, to operate
so the only difference between these verbs is ّ "shaddah."
so for شَغَلَ we would get:
أَشْغُلُ i busy
تَشْغُلُ you busy
شَغَلْتُ i busied
could you please give me the same for شَغّلَ , would it be exactly the same except with the adding of ّ ???
i find this difficult because then saying "i busied " شَغَلَ
would sound very much the same as saying " i started up شَغّلَتُ
