To the former, <strong>\u0648\u0646 <\/strong>(which changes to <strong>\u064a\u0646 <\/strong>in certain sentence positions) are added, while to the latter <strong>\u0627\u062a <\/strong>is appended.

That is, if the plural noun appears after the verb, the verb is always singular in form, as in these examples:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><strong>(1) <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">\u064a\u064e\u0634\u0652\u0631\u064e\u062d\u064f<\/span> \u0627\u0644\u0645\u064f\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0651\u0650\u0645\u064f\u0648\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0651\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0633. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>The teachers are explaining the lesson<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><strong>(2) <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">\u062a\u064e\u0643\u0652\u062a\u064f\u0628\u064f<\/span> \u0627\u0644\u0645\u064f\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0651\u0650\u0645\u064e\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0650\u0645\u0652\u062a\u0650\u062d\u064e\u0627\u0646. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The female teachers are writing the exam<\/p>\n<p>Broken Plural <strong>\u062c\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0639\u064f \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0651\u064e\u0643\u0652\u0633\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0631 <\/strong>will be explained in the next post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"241\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/05\/nominal-verbal-singular-plural-forms-350x241.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/05\/nominal-verbal-singular-plural-forms-350x241.png 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/05\/nominal-verbal-singular-plural-forms.png 598w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>As explained in an earlier post, nouns \u0627\u0644\u0623\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0627\u0621 and verbs \u0627\u0644\u0623\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0627\u0644 have three forms: singular \u0645\u064f\u0641\u0652\u0631\u064e\u062f, dual \u0645\u064f\u062b\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0649, or plural \u062c\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0639.
