The nominal sentence (\u0627\u0644\u062c\u0645\u0644\u0629\u00a0\u00a0 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0633\u0645\u064a\u0629) in Arabic begins with a noun or a pronoun. The nominal sentence has two components the subject (\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0628\u062a\u062f\u0623) and the predicate (\u0627\u0644\u062e\u0628\u0631). The subject can be a noun (\u0627\u0633\u0645), pronoun (\u0636\u0645\u064a\u0631) or demonstrative (\u0627\u0633\u0645 \u0627\u0634\u0627\u0631\u0629).<\/p>\n

The predicate (\u0627\u0644\u062e\u0628\u0631) can include different constructions. In this post, I\u00a0 explain the constructions that can be used as predicate.<\/p>\n
The predicate can be made of one word, i.e. a noun (\u0627\u0633\u0645) or an adjective (\u0635\u0641\u0629), e.g.<\/p>\n
\u0623\u0646\u0627 \u0645\u0639\u0644\u0645\u0629.<\/p>\n
I am a teacher.<\/p>\n
\u0633\u0627\u0631\u0629 \u062c\u0645\u064a\u0644\u0629.<\/p>\n
Sarah is pretty.<\/p>\n
The predicate can be made of a complete sentence. i.e. a nominal sentence (\u062c\u0645\u0644\u0629 \u0627\u0633\u0645\u064a\u0629) or a verbal sentence (\u062c\u0645\u0644\u0629 \u0641\u0639\u0644\u064a\u0629), e.g.<\/p>\n
\u0627\u0644\u062d\u062f\u064a\u0642\u0629 \u0623\u0634\u062c\u0627\u0631\u0647\u0627 \u0643\u062b\u064a\u0631\u0629.<\/p>\n

The teacher teaches his students.<\/p>\n
The predicate can also be a prepositional phrase (\u0634\u0628\u0647 \u062c\u0645\u0644\u0629),<\/p>\n
\u0627\u0644\u0637\u0644\u0627\u0628 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0627\u0645\u0639\u0629.<\/p>\n
