Integrate the TD toolkit in one text

A TD-standard paragraph combines كَانَ قَدْ (background), قَالَ / أَشَارَ … أَنَّ (what others say), a conditional (إِذَا … سَـ) and the future (سَوْفَ). Weaving several structures together is what marks the strongest writing.

Success checklist

  • A past-perfect background sentence (كُنْتُ قَدْ …).
  • A reported-speech clause (قَالَ إِنَّ / أَشَارَ … أَنَّ).
  • A Type 1 conditional and a future statement.
  • يُؤَهِّلُ لِـ or يُعِدُّ لِـ with the correct complement.
