In Arabic, there is a limited number of words that are made up of one letter only, for example (\u0648<\/span>) \u2018and\u2019, and (\u0641<\/span>) which is used to link sentences explaining each other. In addition, there are some prepositions, e.g. (\u0628<\/span>) \u2018with\/by\u2019, (\u0643<\/span>) \u2018as\/like\u2019, (\u0644<\/span>) \u2018to\/for\u2019.<\/p>\n

What we should note about all these is that they cannot stand alone as separate words. Instead, they must join the words the follow them. For example,<\/p>\n

\u0645\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0648\u0623\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0635\u062f\u064a\u0642\u0627\u0646.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe traveled by plane.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u0647\u0648 \u0634\u062c\u0627\u0639 \u0643\u0627\u0644\u0623\u0633\u062f.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe is as brave as a lion.\u201d<\/p>\n

It should also be noted that when we use (\u0644<\/span>) before a noun that begins with (\u0627\u0644<\/span>), we must delete the (\u0627<\/span>) at the beginning of the definite article.<\/p>\n

\u0630\u0647\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0648\u0644\u062f \u0644\u0644\u0628\u064a\u062a. (= \u0644 + \u0627\u0644\u0628\u064a\u062a)<\/span><\/p>\n
