Study Notes
Parts of Speech
- There are three main parts of speech: nouns, verbs, and particles.
Verbs
- Verbs indicate the occurrence of an action and its time.
Particles
- Particles connect verbs with nouns or nouns with other nouns.
Nouns
- A noun is a word that refers to a person, place, or thing.
- Types of nouns:
- Apparent nouns (e.g., Muhammad, Cairo, house, bird)
- Implicit nouns (e.g., I, you, he, she, it)
- Demonstrative nouns (e.g., this, that, these, those)
- Relative nouns (e.g., who, which, that)
- Interrogative nouns (e.g., who, where, what, how, when)
Characteristics of Nouns
- Nouns can have a "tanween" (a grammatical marker indicating indefiniteness).
- The definite article "al-" can be added to nouns, making them definite.
- Prepositions (particles) can connect to nouns, making them genitive.
- Nouns can be collectives, and a "kasra" (a diacritical mark) can be added to indicate this.
