Homework 8: Click to download the homework: PDF or MS Word

Notes:

If you don't have the latest updated rules, then you can download them here PDF or MS Word

Rule 290: You can add two nouns.

1.              The form in English is x of y or y’s x, where x and y are the two nouns. The first noun (x) is called the Modaf (مُضَافٌ) and the second noun (y) is called Modaf Ilyh (وَمُضَافٌ إِلَيْهِ).

2.              The Modaf is not specific. It is made specific by the Modaf Ilyh. For example, books is a generic  noun but when we say books of Mohamed, then we specified these books to belong to Mohamed.

3.              The first noun (مُضَافٌ) can’t have Tanween or Alif-Lam.

4.              The second noun (مُضَافٌ إِلَيْهِ) must be Majroor and may have Alif-Lam or Tanween according to Rule 270.

Examples:

The book of the boy	The boy’s book	كِتَاَبُ الْوَلَدِ
The book of a boy	A boy’s book	كِتَاَبُ وَلَدٍ
The car of Mohamed	Mohamed’s car	سَيَّارَةُ مُحَمَدٍ
The watch of the girl	The girl’s watch	سَاَعَةُ الْبِنْتِ
The watch of a girl	A girl’s watch	سَاَعَةُ بِنْتٍ

We want to translate “They^2F are fast” to Arabic.

 Step 1: Use rule 230 to convert the noun into the appropriate form. For example, rule 230 will tell you how to convert the root (سَرِيعٌ) into a duel female noun (سَرِيعَتَانِ).

Step 2: Use Rule 610 to select the appropriate pronoun. For example, for a duel female third person, the pronoun (هُمَا) is found in row 12, column 3, i.e. (12,3).

Step 3: Check if we need Tanween on the noun using rule 250. For example, rule 250-3 tells you that no tanween on duel nouns.

Step 4: Check the Irab of the noun. According to rule 530, the Khabar is Marfoo^. In the example above, the word “fast” is Khabar, and Khabar is Marfoo^.

Step 5: Then we go into table 280 to find out in (4,4) that the marfoo^ for duel nouns has Alif not Ya’a, i.e. سَرِيعَتَانِ not سَرِيعَتَينِ.

Step 6: Assemble the words together to get a sentence. (هُمَا سَرِيعَتَانِ).

Same steps apply to all other cases, which are I, We, You, She, He, They.

Example: Find the present tense of the verb كَتَبَتْ

The procedure is as follows

1.     Convert the given verb to the corresponding فَعَلَ form. This gives the verb فَعَلَتْ.

2.     Match the verb فَعَلَتْ with the corresponding one in the table below (rule 340. This match the verb فَعَلَتْ in row 12, col 3, i.e. (12,3).

3.     Find the present tense of the verb. This gives تَفْعَلُ in (12,4).

4.     Convert the verb تَفْعَلُ to the required form, which is تَكْتُبُ.

Active Voice and Passive Voice

HW:

Homework 33: Click to download the homework: PDF or MS Word.

Notes:

If you don't already have the latest updated rules you can download them here PDF or MS Word.

 

Rule 1210: The default case of passive voice is a verb sentence that has unknown subject.

Rule 1220: The passive voice is possible only for the third person. No passive voice for the first or second persons. In addition, there is passive voice for the command verbs.

Rule 1230: Conversion of verbs from the active voice form to the passive voice form.

 

Rule 1240: To convert from passive voice to active voice do the following:

1.      The object replaces the subject in the passive voice verb sentence.

2.      The form of the verb is changed to match the object instead of the subject, for example if the subject is male and the object is female, then the verb form is changed to female.

3.      Change the object to Marfo^ instead of Mansob. Rule 280 should be used to do this conversion.

4.      Change the verb from active voice to passive voice using rule 1230. For example, the verb “يَفْعَلٌ” become “يُفْعَلٌ”.
