Last week, we looked at how to use \u064f\u062d\u064e\u064a\u062b<\/strong> and all its multiple meanings. This week, we\u2019re looking at a two-letter-word \u201cqad<\/strong>\u201d \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652<\/strong> . Do not let the littleness of such tiny words deceive you ?, this word has an important grammatical function.<\/p>\n

\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652 <\/strong>must come before either a past or present tense verb. Depending on the case, \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652<\/strong> can have the following multiple meanings (had, has, may, might, about to, certainly, indeed, surely)<\/strong><\/p>\n

had and has<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

When \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652 <\/strong>comes before a past tense verb, it makes the action more definite.<\/p>\n

For example,<\/p>\n

She went to school. \u00a0Which translates to .\u0630\u0647\u0628\u062a \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062f\u0631\u0633\u0629<\/strong><\/p>\n

Versus the sentence: \u00a0She has\/had gone to school.<\/p>\n

Which translates to: .\u0642\u062f \u0630\u0647\u0628\u062a \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062f\u0631\u0633\u0629<\/strong><\/p>\n

about to<\/u><\/h3>\n

When \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652<\/strong> comes before a past tense verb, it can also show that the action is about to<\/u> occur.<\/p>\n

For example, The game is about to begin. .\u0642\u062f \u0628\u062f\u0623\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0628\u0627\u0631\u0627\u0629<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be aware of context!<\/em> ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What would you say if the game has\/had already begun?<\/p>\n

Yup, same as above .\u0642\u062f \u0628\u062f\u0623\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0628\u0627\u0631\u0627\u0629<\/strong> only here, the meaning has changed due to context.<\/p>\n

certainly\/indeed\/surely <\/u><\/h3>\n

When \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652<\/strong> comes before a past tense verb, it can also confirm or verify the action.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at an example from the Quran: “\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652 \u0628\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627 \u0644\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0622\u064a\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0650 \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0643\u064f\u0646\u0652\u062a\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u062a\u064e\u0639\u0652\u0642\u0650\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Taken from Chapter (3) s\u016brat \u0101l \u02bfim’r\u0101n (The Family of Imr\u0101n) Verse (3:118)).<\/p>\n

may and might<\/u><\/h3>\n

When \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652<\/strong> comes before a present tense verb, it makes the action less definite.<\/p>\n

For example, She is going to school. Which translates to .\u062a\u0630\u0647\u0628 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062f\u0631\u0633\u0629<\/strong><\/p>\n

She may\/might go to school. .\u0642\u062f \u062a\u0630\u0647\u0628 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062f\u0631\u0633\u0629<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Note: You may see \u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u00a0<\/strong> or \u0641\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652<\/strong> instead of \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u00a0<\/strong> can only come before the past tense verb and it emphasizes the action.<\/p>\n

For example: I went to school.<\/p>\n

.\u0644\u0642\u062f \u0630\u0647\u0628\u062a \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062f\u0631\u0633\u0629<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using \u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f<\/strong>\u00a0 here only emphasizes the fact that I went to school.<\/p>\n

Here is another example from the Quran:<\/p>\n

“\u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652<\/span> \u0645\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0646\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0630\u0652 \u0628\u064e\u0639\u064e\u062b\u064e \u0641\u0650\u064a\u0647\u0650\u0645\u0652 \u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0644\u064b\u0627 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0641\u064f\u0633\u0650\u0647\u0650\u0645\u0652”<\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly did Allah confer [great] favor upon the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Taken from Chapter (3) s\u016brat \u0101l \u02bfim’r\u0101n (The Family of Imr\u0101n) Verse (3:164))<\/p>\n

Sometimes \u0642\u062f<\/strong> can have a direct connection to the preceding sentence. When this is the case, \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652<\/strong> is usually preceded by \u0641\u064e<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

For example: Khalid did not want to return to this restaurant. He had eaten there before.<\/p>\n

.\u0644\u0645 \u064a\u0631\u062f \u062e\u0627\u0644\u062f \u0623\u0646 \u064a\u0639\u0648\u062f \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0647\u0630\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0637\u0639\u0645. \u0641\u0642\u062f \u0623\u0643\u0644 \u0647\u0646\u0627\u0643 \u0645\u0646 \u0642\u0628\u0644<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, I hope you are finding these posts about using these \u201ctiny\u201d words useful. ?<\/p>\n
