The sentence begins with a noun (الرجل) as the subject followed by a predicate, which makes it a nominal sentence. Verbal sentences in Arabic start with a verb.

كتابون
كتابان
كتابين
كتب
كتابان is the correct nominative dual form of كتاب. كتابين is the accusative/genitive dual, and كتب is the broken plural.

قلمات
أقلام
قلمين
قلمون
The broken plural of قلم is أقلام, where the internal pattern changes rather than adding a suffix. The other forms are incorrect.
Which verb form correctly agrees with the plural masculine subject 'المعلمون' in the present tense?
كتبوا
يكتبون
يكتب
تكتبون
يكتبون is the third person masculine plural present-tense form of the verb كتب, matching المعلمون. يكتب is singular, تكتبون is feminine plural, and كتبوا is past tense.
In the nominal sentence 'السماء صاٝية', which word is the predicate (خبر)?
خبر
السماء
صاٝية
اسم
In a nominal sentence, the first noun is the subject (مبتدأ) and the second expression is the predicate (خبر). Here, صاٝية describes the subject السماء.
Which preposition correctly completes the sentence 'ذهبتٝ _____ المدرسة'?
عن
على
من
إلى
إلى indicates movement towards a place in Arabic. The other prepositions convey meanings of origin, separation, or location on top, which do not fit.

طٝلان
أطٝال
طٝلين
طٝلينٝ
طٝلين is the correct form for the accusative or genitive case in the dual. طٝلان is nominative dual, and أطٝال is plural.
Which phrase demonstrates correct gender and number agreement between the noun and its adjective?
البنات ذكاء
الرجال ذكيات
النساء ذكيات
النساء أذكياء
النساء is feminine plural, and ذكيات is the matching feminine plural adjective. أذكياء is masculine plural, and the others are mismatched.
What type of sentence is 'كَتَبَتْ الطالبةٝ الدرسَ'?
Exclamatory
Verbal

Conditional
The sentence begins with the verb كَتَبَتْ followed by subject and object, which classifies it as a verbal sentence in Arabic.
Which verb form agrees with the singular feminine pronoun 'هي' in the present tense of the verb كتب?

Identify the grammatical error in the sentence 'الأولادَ يلعبونَ ٝي الحديقةٝ'.
Wrong preposition
Missing adjective
Wrong case on subject
Incorrect verb form
In a verbal sentence, the subject الأولاد should be nominative (الأولادٝ) not accusative. The verb and preposition are correct.

ٝعلت
ٝعلتا
ٝعلا
ٝعلن
For dual feminine in the past tense, the suffix تَا is added to form ٝعلتا. ٝعلا is dual masculine, and the others are incorrect.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Master the Arabic Definite Article "al-" (ال) - In Arabic, the prefix "al-" turns any indefinite noun into a definite one, just like adding "the" in English. It's like giving your nouns VIP status! For example, "kitĝb" means "book," but "al-kitĝb" shines as "the book." Arabic Definite Article on Wikipedia
  2. Understand Sun and Moon Letters - Arabic letters are categorized as "sun" or "moon" letters and they affect how you pronounce the "l" in "al-." With sun letters (t, d, r, etc.), the "l" assimilates and doubles the following sound - think "ash-shams" for "the sun." With moon letters (b, j, m, etc.), you clearly pronounce the "l," as in "al-bĝb" for "the door." Sun & Moon Letters on Wikipedia
  3. Apply Subject-Verb Agreement - Verbs in Arabic must match their subjects in both gender and number, so a masculine or feminine subject demands its own verb form. For instance, "al-walad yaktub" means "the boy writes," while "al-bint taktub" means "the girl writes." Mastering this keeps your sentences sounding sharp and accurate! Arabic Language Online: Grammar Rules
  4. Differentiate Between Nominal and Verbal Sentences - Nominal sentences start with a noun and often imply "to be," like "al-kitĝb jadīd" ("the book is new"). Verbal sentences begin with a verb, for example "yaqraʾ al-ṭĝlib al-kitĝb" ("the student reads the book"). Spotting the difference helps you understand and build clear Arabic statements. VerbalPlanet: Top Grammar Rules
  5. Use Prepositions Correctly - Prepositions in Arabic, like "fī" (in) and "ʿalĝ" (on), label spatial relationships clearly. Saying "al-kitĝb ʿalĝ al-ṭĝwila" means "the book is on the table," so practice pairing the right preposition with each scenario. Nail these little words and your Arabic will instantly sparkle! VerbalPlanet: Preposition Guide
  6. Form Plural and Dual Nouns - Arabic boasts singular, dual, and plural forms, making it fun to count in style. To express "two," you typically add "ĝn" or "īn" to the singular - so "ṭĝlib" (student) becomes "ṭĝlibĝn" (two students). Beyond that, irregular plurals keep you on your toes and supercharging your vocab! Arabic Language Online: Plurals & Duals
  7. Ensure Adjective-Noun Agreement - In Arabic, adjectives must mirror the nouns they describe in gender and number. A "tall man" is "rajul ṭawīl," but a "tall woman" becomes "imraʾa ṭawīla." Keeping these in sync makes your descriptions flow and sound beautifully natural. VerbalPlanet: Adjectives in Arabic
  8. Recognize the Iḝĝfah Construction - This possessive structure links two nouns directly, with the second noun in the genitive case - no preposition needed! For instance, "kitĝb al-ṭĝlib" means "the student's book." It's like snapping words together to show ownership in one smooth step. Iḝĝfah on Wikipedia
  9. Understand Case Endings (Iʿrĝb) - Arabic nouns wear different endings depending on their role: nominative (subject), accusative (object), and genitive (possession). So "al-kitĝbu" is nominative, "al-kitĝba" is accusative, and "al-kitĝbi" is genitive. Spotting these endings is like a superpower for decoding sentences! VerbalPlanet: Iʿrĝb Essentials
  10. Learn the Root System - Most Arabic words spring from three-letter roots that unlock meaning across related words. For example, k-t-b relates to writing, yielding "kitĝb" (book), "kĝtib" (writer), and "maktaba" (library). Cracking these roots helps you expand your vocabulary rapidly - like discovering secret word families! JustLearn: Arabic Roots Explained
