مُهَنْدِسٌ ← مُهَنْدِسَةٌ
Most profession nouns form the feminine with ة, but spelling and pronunciation must remain accurate.
المُبْتَدَأُ + الخَبَرُ
In the present tense, Arabic does not use “is” between a person and a profession.
يَعْمَلُ / تَعْمَلُ + مِهْنَةً
Use the indefinite profession after يعمل as a circumstantial description.
يَعْمَلُ فِي + مَكَانٍ
Use في before the workplace, not before the profession.
| Pattern | Controlled Arabic model |

| هُوَ مُهَنْدِسٌ | هِيَ مُهَنْدِسَةٌ |
| يَعْمَلُ طَبِيبًا | تَعْمَلُ طَبِيبَةً |
Learn each noun with gender and each verb with the preposition or pattern it requires.
Develop answers with a reason, example, contrast or consequence rather than one isolated clause.
Grammar laboratory

هِيَ مُهَنْدِسٌ.
هِيَ مُهَنْدِسَةٌ.
The profession must agree with a feminine subject.
أَبِي يَكُونُ طَبِيبٌ.
أَبِي طَبِيبٌ.
No present-tense copula is required.
يَعْمَلُ أَخِي فِي مُحَاسِبٍ.
يَعْمَلُ أَخِي مُحَاسِبًا فِي شَرِكَةٍ.
The profession follows يعمل without في; the workplace takes في.
