Inna and Sisters إنَّ و أخواتها  (Part 2)

       In the previous post, we introduced to Inna and Sisters. We knew that they are particles حــُــروف ; not verbs. They start the Nominal sentence. They change the case of the Mubtada to the accusative or the Nasb Case حالة النصب . The Mubtada changes its name to be Noun of Inna and Sisters Mansoob with a Fat’ha on its ending. The Khabar is called Khabar of Inna and Sisters and its is Marfo’ مرفوع with a Dam’mah on its ending letter.
