Advice with يَجِبُ أَنْ

النَّصِيحَةُ بِـ يَجِبُ أَنْ

The lesson-plan grammar focus is the advice frame يَجِبُ أَنْ followed by a verb. The verb form after أَنْ is learned and practised as a complete useful chunk.

What does the structure communicate?

2Form

Which word or ending changes?

3Agreement

What must match the noun or person?

4Transfer
