لِأَنَّهُ / لِأَنَّهَا and adjective agreement
السَّبَبُ وَمُطَابَقَةُ الصِّفَةِ
The lesson-plan grammar focus is a complete agreement chain: the reason pronoun and the adjective both agree with the food noun being described.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
أُحِبُّ الحَسَاءَ لِأَنَّهُ لَذِيذٌ وَخَفِيفٌ.
I like soup because it is delicious and light.حَسَاءٌ is masculine → لِأَنَّهُ + masculine adjectives.
أُفَضِّلُ السَّلَطَةَ لِأَنَّهَا صِحِّيَّةٌ وَطَازَجَةٌ.
I prefer salad because it is healthy and fresh.سَلَطَةٌ is feminine → لِأَنَّهَا + feminine adjectives.
لَا أُحِبُّ القَهْوَةَ لِأَنَّهَا مُرَّةٌ.
I do not like coffee because it is bitter.Agreement follows the noun, not the speaker.
فِي رَأْيِي، الفَاكِهَةُ مُغَذِّيَةٌ، وَلٰكِنَّ الكَعْكَ حُلْوٌ جِدًّا.
In my opinion, fruit is nutritious, but cake is very sweet.Use contrast to make a balanced opinion.
Give a reason for a masculine noun
لِأَنَّهُ + صِفَةٌ مُذَكَّرَةٌ
Use ـهُ when the food noun is masculine, then use a masculine adjective.
أُحِبُّ الخُبْزَ لِأَنَّهُ طَازَجٌ.لَا أُحِبُّ السُّكَّرَ لِأَنَّهُ ضَارٌّ.
Give a reason for a feminine noun
لِأَنَّهَا + صِفَةٌ مُؤَنَّثَةٌ
Use ـهَا when the food noun is feminine, then add the feminine adjective ending ـة.
أُحِبُّ السَّلَطَةَ لِأَنَّهَا صِحِّيَّةٌ.لَا أُحِبُّ القَهْوَةَ لِأَنَّهَا مُرَّةٌ.
Describe taste accurately
لَذِيذٌ / لَذِيذَةٌ · مَالِحٌ / مَالِحَةٌ
The adjective changes to match the grammatical gender of the noun.
الحَسَاءُ لَذِيذٌ.الشُّورْبَةُ لَذِيذَةٌ.
Join two reasons
لِأَنَّهُ... وَ...
One reason sentence can contain two agreeing adjectives.
أُفَضِّلُ السَّمَكَ لِأَنَّهُ لَذِيذٌ وَصِحِّيٌّ.أُحِبُّ الفَاكِهَةَ لِأَنَّهَا حُلْوَةٌ وَمُفِيدَةٌ.
| Noun | Reason pronoun | Adjective |
|---|---|---|
| الخُبْزُ | لِأَنَّهُ | طَازَجٌ |
| السَّلَطَةُ | لِأَنَّهَا | صِحِّيَّةٌ |
| القَهْوَةُ | لِأَنَّهَا | مُرَّةٌ |
| العَصِيرُ | لِأَنَّهُ | حُلْوٌ |
Arabic adjectives agree with the noun they describe. First identify whether the noun is masculine or feminine; then select both the correct pronoun in the reason and the matching adjective form.
“Healthy” and “unhealthy” describe nutritional patterns, not a person’s worth. Use language precisely and avoid turning food discussion into judgement.

أُحِبُّ السَّلَطَةَ لِأَنَّهَا صِحِّيَّةٌ.
سَلَطَةٌ is feminine, so both the pronoun and adjective are feminine.
القَهْوَةُ مُرٌّ.
القَهْوَةُ مُرَّةٌ.
قَهْوَةٌ is feminine.
