\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Today we are going to continue our study of the Verbal Sentence \u0627\u0644\u0640\u062c\u0640\u0645\u0640\u0644\u0640\u0640\u0629<\/strong> \u0627\u0644\u0640\u0641\u0640\u0639\u0640\u0644\u0640\u064a\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0629<\/strong><\/a> . We have already discussed the Verb<\/a> in more detail and the Subject<\/a> or doer of the verb. We have also started discussing the subject-verb agreement<\/a>; how the verb looks like with different subjects. We started with the subject-verb agreement in number<\/a>. Today, we will be discussing the gender agreement between the subject and the verb. We will focus mainly on when should we use a feminine verb and how does that feminine verb look like. Let\u2019s look at the rules.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

B)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Verb-Subject Agreement: Gender<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Rule<\/span>: <\/strong>A Verb is often \u00a0feminine \u00a0if its subject is feminine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Question<\/span>:<\/strong> How can we get a feminine verb in Arabic?<\/em><\/p>\n

Answer<\/span>: <\/strong>Add the Feminine Marker to the verb.<\/p>\n

Question<\/span>: <\/strong>What is the feminine marker for Arabic verbs?<\/p>\n

Answer<\/span>: – <\/strong>If the verb is past, add a Taa Sa\u2019kinah \u062a\u0627\u0621 \u0633\u0627\u0643\u0646\u0629\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>(with Su\u2019koun) to its ending.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0– If the verb is present, start it with a Taa Mutaharrikah \u062a\u0627\u0621 \u0645\u062a\u062d\u0631\u0643\u0629<\/strong> (with Fat\u2019ha or Dammah) \u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, there are two cases<\/span><\/strong> in which the verb should be Feminine:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1)<\/strong> If the subject of the verb is a visible noun and a real feminine. Here the verb and its subject must not be separated by anything. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Ex.<\/strong> \u2013 \u0623\u0639\u062f\u062a\u0652 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0645\u0651\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0637\u0639\u0627\u0645 <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0= The mother prepared the food. (Past Tense)<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 –\u00a0 \u062a\u0645\u0634\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0642\u0631\u0629\u064f \u0628\u0628\u0637\u0621<\/strong> \u00a0= The cow walks slowly. (Present Tense)<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the first example above, the verb \u0623\u0639\u062f\u062a<\/strong> is in the past tense and it has the Feminine Taa as its ending because its subject \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0645\u0651\u064f<\/strong> (the mother) is a real feminine and a visible noun. In the second example, the verb \u062a\u0645\u0634\u0649<\/strong> is in the present tense as it starts with a Taa Mutahirrikah (with a fat’ha). The subject of this verb is the real feminine noun \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0642\u0631\u0629<\/strong> (the cow).<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2)<\/strong> If the subject of the verb is an invisible pronoun that refers to a real or unreal feminine. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Ex.<\/strong> \u2013 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0631\u0623\u0629\u064f \u062e\u0631\u062c\u062a\u0652 (\u0647\u064a) \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0644 <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0= The woman went out to work.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0631\u0628\u064f \u062a\u0640\u0640\u064f\u0640\u0647\u0640\u064e\u0640\u062f\u0651\u0650\u062f\u064f (\u0647\u064a) \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0634\u0631\u064a\u0629 \u00a0= <\/strong>War threatens all humanity.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now, if you look at the first example, you will notice that the verb \u062e\u0631\u062c\u062a\u0652<\/strong> (went out) is in the past tense and ends in the Feminine Sa’kinah Taa that has a Su’koun on it. What is the subject of this verb? It is the invisible pronoun \u0647\u064a<\/strong> (she) that refers back to the real feminine noun \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0631\u0623\u0629<\/strong> (The woman). In the second example, we have the verb \u062a\u0640\u0640\u064f\u0640\u0640\u0647\u0640\u0640\u062f\u062f<\/strong> (threatens) in the present and it starts with the Mutahirrikah Taa (with a Dammah). The subject of the verb \u062a\u0647\u062f\u062f<\/strong> is an invisible pronoun \u0647\u064a<\/strong> (she) that refers back to the unreal feminine noun \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0631\u0628<\/strong> (the war). \u00a0<\/p>\n
