Reporting speech in Arabic

نَقْلُ الكَلَامِ فِي العَرَبِيَّةِ

Choose a reporting verb, add إِنَّ or أَنَّ, swap the pronoun to third person, and keep the tense. Arabic reporting is simpler than English: no automatic tense back-shift.

1Meaning

What does the structure communicate?

2Form

Which word or ending changes?

3Agreement

What must match the noun or person?

4Transfer

Can you use it with new vocabulary?

قَالَ إِنَّ التَّعْلِيمَ حَقٌّ لِلْجَمِيعِ
What to notice

إِنَّ only after قَالَ; التَّعْلِيمَ accusative.

قَالَتْ إِنَّهَا سَتَتَخَصَّصُ فِي الطِّبِّ
What to notice

Third-person pronoun; future kept.

أَشَارَ الخَبِيرُ إِلَى أَنَّ المَنَاهِجَ تَتَطَوَّرُ
What to notice

أَشَارَ إِلَى أَنَّ; accusative noun.

1

إِنَّ vs أَنَّ

قَالَ إِنَّ · (غَيْرُهُ) أَنَّ

إِنَّ only after قَالَ; أَنَّ after the other verbs.

قَالَ إِنَّ التَّعْلِيمَ حَقٌّأَكَّدَ أَنَّ المَنَاهِجَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَتَطَوَّرَ
2

Accusative after the particle

إِنَّ / أَنَّ + accusative noun

The noun after إِنَّ / أَنَّ is accusative; the predicate stays nominative.

ذَكَرَ أَنَّ التَّحْصِيلَ يَتَحَسَّنُ
3

Pronoun replacement

first person → third person

Attach the third-person pronoun to إِنَّ / أَنَّ.

«دَرَسْتُ بِجِدٍّ» → قَالَ إِنَّهُ دَرَسَ بِجِدٍّ«سَأَتَخَصَّصُ» → قَالَتْ إِنَّهَا سَتَتَخَصَّصُ
4

Tense stays

truth present · past past · future future

No back-shift: keep the original tense.

أَشَارَ إِلَى أَنَّ التَّعْلِيمَ الرَّقْمِيَّ يُوَفِّرُ فُرَصًاخَلَصَ إِلَى أَنَّ الطُّلَّابَ تَفَوَّقُوا

اِعْتَرَفَ بِـأَنَّاِعْتَرَفَ بِأَنَّ …
1
قَالَ takes إِنَّ; the others take أَنَّ

After قَالَ use إِنَّ: قَالَ إِنَّ التَّعْلِيمَ مُهِمٌّ — never قَالَ أَنَّ. Every other reporting verb takes أَنَّ: أَضَافَ أَنَّ، أَوْضَحَ أَنَّ، أَكَّدَ أَنَّ. Both make the following noun accusative (التَّعْلِيمَ).

2
Swap the pronoun, keep the tense

Direct «سَأَدْرُسُ الطِّبَّ» becomes قَالَ إِنَّهُ سَيَدْرُسُ الطِّبَّ: the first-person becomes a third-person pronoun (هُ), and the future stays future. A past statement stays past: «دَرَسْتُ» → قَالَ إِنَّهُ دَرَسَ.
