Active, passive and evaluative language for green technology

Study each structure in context, compare accurate and inaccurate forms, then apply it in meaningful Arabic.

1Meaning

What does the structure communicate?

2Form

Which word or ending changes?

3Agreement

What must match the noun or person?

4Transfer

Can you use it with new vocabulary?

تُحَوِّلُ الأَلْوَاحُ الشَّمْسِيَّةُ ضَوْءَ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى كَهْرَبَاءَ.
What to notice

Many technology nouns in this lesson are feminine plurals or singular feminine nouns, so the verb commonly begins with تـ.

يُسْتَخْدَمُ الذَّكَاءُ الاصْطِنَاعِيُّ لِرَصْدِ التَّلَوُّثِ.
What to notice

Choose the passive verb according to the grammatical gender of the subject.

تُسَاعِدُ الشَّبَكَاتُ الذَّكِيَّةُ عَلَى تَقْلِيلِ هَدْرِ الطَّاقَةِ.
What to notice

After تساعد على, use a verbal noun or a noun phrase.

1

Active technology processes

feminine technology subject + feminine present verb

Many technology nouns in this lesson are feminine plurals or singular feminine nouns, so the verb commonly begins with تـ.

تُحَوِّلُ الأَلْوَاحُ الشَّمْسِيَّةُ ضَوْءَ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى كَهْرَبَاءَ.تُخَفِّضُ المَدِينَةُ الذَّكِيَّةُ الانْبِعَاثَاتِ.
2

Passive use descriptions

يُسْتَخْدَمُ / تُسْتَخْدَمُ + subject + لِـ

Choose the passive verb according to the grammatical gender of the subject.

يُسْتَخْدَمُ الذَّكَاءُ الاصْطِنَاعِيُّ لِرَصْدِ التَّلَوُّثِ.تُسْتَخْدَمُ الأَقْمَارُ الصِّنَاعِيَّةُ لِمُرَاقَبَةِ الجَفَافِ.
3

Helping to achieve an outcome

تُسَاعِدُ + noun + عَلَى + verbal noun

After تساعد على, use a verbal noun or a noun phrase.

تُسَاعِدُ الشَّبَكَاتُ الذَّكِيَّةُ عَلَى تَقْلِيلِ هَدْرِ الطَّاقَةِ.
4

Measured evaluation

مِنْ أَهَمِّ الفَوَائِدِ أَنَّ ... / مِنْ أَبْرَزِ التَّحَدِّيَاتِ أَنَّ ...

Use أَنَّ to turn a full clause into the stated benefit or challenge.

مِنْ أَهَمِّ الفَوَائِدِ أَنَّ الطَّاقَةَ الشَّمْسِيَّةَ تُخَفِّضُ الانْبِعَاثَاتِ.مِنْ أَبْرَزِ التَّحَدِّيَاتِ أَنَّ التَّكْلِفَةَ الأُولَى مُرْتَفِعَةٌ.

يُحَوِّلُ الأَلْوَاحُ الشَّمْسِيَّةُ الضَّوْءَ.

تُحَوِّلُ الأَلْوَاحُ الشَّمْسِيَّةُ الضَّوْءَ.

The non-human plural الألواح takes feminine singular agreement.

تُسْتَخْدَمُ الذَّكَاءُ الاصْطِنَاعِيُّ لِرَصْدِ التَّلَوُّثِ.

يُسْتَخْدَمُ الذَّكَاءُ الاصْطِنَاعِيُّ لِرَصْدِ التَّلَوُّثِ.

الذكاء is masculine.

تُسَاعِدُ الشَّبَكَةُ إِلَى تَقْلِيلِ الهَدْرِ.

تُسَاعِدُ الشَّبَكَةُ عَلَى تَقْلِيلِ الهَدْرِ.
