C. Answer the following questions: ( 3 marks each)
1. what is the effect of كان on the subject and predicate of the sentence? Provide detailed answer.
كان has the same effect on the جملة الاسمية as ليس . كان makes the subject (اسم كان ) marfoo and the khabr mansoob. However, the effect of كان on the خبر is visible only when the khabr is a noun. If the khabr is a verb or a preposition, كان doesn’t change the words in the khabr. Instead, the whole khabr is in the nasb position محل نصب.
2. Talk about adjectives in Arabic.
In Arabic the adjective follows the noun it describes. Also, the adjective has the same grammatical form as the noun it describes. So if the noun is singular, the adjective will also be singular. If the noun is plural, the adjective is also plural. If the noun is plural, the adjective is also plural. If the noun is masculine, the adjective will be in the masculine form and if the noun is feminine, the adjective will be in the feminine form. If the noun contains the proper article ال the adjective contains it, and if the noun doesn’t contain it, the adjective is also without it. additionally, the adjective has the same grammatical ending as the noun it describes. If the noun is marfoo, the adjective describing it is marfoo. If the noun is mansoob, the adjective is also mansoob. And if the noun is majroor, the adjective describing it is also majroor.
