النِّظَامُ كَامِلًا فِي نَصٍّ وَاحِدٍ
Four checks carry this lesson: does each verb match its time phrase, does each relative pronoun agree, is only one comparative used, and does each passive have a nominative subject.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
The pronoun agrees with the definite noun before it.
لَنْ takes the subjunctive.
A genitive noun follows the connector.
past time phrase → past · الآنَ → present · سَـ / سَوْفَ → future
Each clause carries its own time reference, so the tense can change from clause to clause within one sentence.
definite noun + الَّذِي / الَّتِي + clause
The pronoun agrees with the preceding noun in gender and number. After an indefinite noun no pronoun is used.
لَنْ + subjunctive
لَنْ replaces سَـ and puts the verb in the subjunctive, so the final ḍamma becomes a fatḥa.
عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ + genitive · شَرِيطَةَ أَنْ + subjunctive
Each connector governs what follows it. عِلَاوَةً عَلَى ذٰلِكَ simply adds a point.
| Structure | The check | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Tense | does it match the time phrase? | أَمْسِ احْتَفَلْنَا |
| Relative clause | does the pronoun match the noun before? | المَدِينَةُ الَّتِي زُرْتُهَا |
| Comparative | is only one form used? | أَكْبَرُ مِنْ |
| Passive | is the subject nominative? | تُزَيَّنُ الشَّوَارِعُ |
الَّذِي and الَّتِي agree with the noun before them, not with whatever follows. المَدِينَةُ الَّتِي زُرْتُهَا — feminine noun, feminine pronoun. A definite noun needs the relative pronoun; an indefinite one does not.
Most errors at this level come from stacking: two comparatives, or a passive that keeps its object accusative. Write the clause with one structure, check it, then join it to the next with a connector.
Grammar laboratory
Every answer checks a stated rule, change or agreement decision.
Build · transform · justify
The guided builder develops flexible sentence construction. The three independent tasks then test different skills: grammatical transformation, meaning and coherence, and original sentence production.
Combinatorial builder studio
This guided builder accepts 27 accurate combinations. Build 3 different sentences, changing one meaningful chunk each time. Compare the grammar and meaning before moving to the independent tasks.
اِخْتَرْ جُزْءًا مِنْ كُلِّ قَائِمَةٍ.
0/3 different sentences built.
Each clause is accurate on its own, so any three different combinations build a valid three-tense statement.
Fix the relative pronoun
Repair the pronoun so it agrees with the noun before it.المَدِينَةُ الَّذِي زُرْتُهَا جَمِيلَةٌ.
المَدِينَة ← مُؤَنَّثالَّتِي agrees with the feminine definite noun.
Negate the future correctly
Rewrite the sentence as a future negative.سَنَتَخَلَّى عَنْ لُغَتِنَا.
النَّفْيُ فِي المُسْتَقْبَلِلَنْ replaces سَـ and takes the subjunctive.
Repair the doubled comparative
Use a single comparative structure.هٰذَا المِهْرَجَانُ أَكْثَرُ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ السَّابِقِ.
صِيغَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌThe أَفْعَل form already carries the comparison.

Strong learners do not only recognise an error: they identify the system and repair it.
المَدِينَةُ الَّذِي زُرْتُهَا.
المَدِينَةُ الَّتِي زُرْتُهَا.
The relative pronoun agrees with the feminine noun before it.
لَنْ نَسِيتُ هٰذِهِ التَّجْرِبَةَ.
لَنْ أَنْسَى هٰذِهِ التَّجْرِبَةَ.
لَنْ is followed by a subjunctive present verb, never a past one.
تُزَيَّنُ الشَّوَارِعَ فِي العِيدِ.
تُزَيَّنُ الشَّوَارِعُ فِي العِيدِ.
After a passive verb the affected noun is nominative.
