Noun Grammar

The table below shows all possible cases for a noun.

The default case in a noun sentence is:

Noun Sentence = Subject + Predicate

الجُمْلَةُ الإِسْمِيَةُ تتَكَوَنْ مِنْ مُبْتَدَأْ وَخَبَرْ

Subject = المُبْتَدَأْ is Marfo'a مَرْفُوعْ

Predicate = الخَبَرْ is Marfo'a  مَرْفُوعْ

(Part II) Click here to listen to me reading page 8 and repeat after me.

Notes:

Let us follow this conversation and examine the words we are using

We are trying to wake up this guy. Observe the commands, the requests and the replies.

There are four possible Harakat for the last letter in the wordL fatha, Kasra, Dama, Skoon.

The verb sentence starts with a verb and has a subject.

Verb Sentence = Verb + Subject.

Noun Sentence starts with a noun followed by predicate.

Noun Sentence = Noun + Predicate.

The Harakat of the last letter are determined by grammar rules (الإعراب).

The example below demonstrates how the harakat can change the meaning of the settees.

The Dama is for the subject and the fatha is for the object.
