Build “the room of…” phrasesإِضَافَةُ أَسْمَاءِ الغُرَفِ
Arabic joins two nouns directly. The first noun loses الـ; the second noun carries definiteness.

Say what your home containsصِفْ مَا فِي بَيْتِكَ
Three high-value frames let you list, possess and locate rooms accurately.
فِي بَيْتِي مَطْبَخٌ وَحَمَّامٌ.
Use this to list what the home contains.
عِنْدِي غُرْفَةُ نَوْمٍ كَبِيرَةٌ.
Use عِنْدِي for possession.
هُنَاكَ ثَلَاثُ غُرَفٍ.
Use هُنَاكَ to introduce what exists.
مَاذَا فِي بَيْتِكَ؟ / مَاذَا فِي بَيْتِكِ؟
هَلْ عِنْدَكَ حَدِيقَةٌ؟ / هَلْ عِنْدَكِ حَدِيقَةٌ؟
كَمْ غُرْفَةً فِي بَيْتِكَ؟ / بَيْتِكِ؟
بَيْتٌ كَبِيرٌ وَجَدِيدٌ
غُرْفَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ وَجَدِيدَةٌ
بَيْتٌ is masculine; غُرْفَةٌ is feminine.
غُرْفَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌone room
غُرْفَتَانِtwo rooms
ثَلَاثُ غُرَفٍthree rooms
أَرْبَعُ غُرَفٍfour rooms
خَمْسُ غُرَفٍfive rooms
سِتُّ غُرَفٍsix rooms
Foundation number reminder
غُرْفَةٌ is feminine, so numbers 3–10 use the opposite, masculine form: ثَلَاثُ غُرَفٍ, not ثَلَاثَةُ غُرَفٍ. The full agreement system remains available in Numeracy Mastery.
