إِشَارَاتُ القِرَاءَةِ — الكَلَامُ المَنْقُولُ وَنَوْعُ الشَّرْطِ
A reading toolkit: use the reporting verb to judge source and certainty, and the conditional type to identify the writer's argument.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
أَكَّدَ signals a confident, official source.
اِدَّعَى signals the writer's doubt.
A counterfactual argument, not a proposal.
أَكَّدَ (certain) · اِدَّعَى (doubtful)
The verb reveals how the writer weighs the claim.
reported source ≠ writer's own view
Reported speech often cites someone else, not the writer.
إِذَا (real) vs لَوْ (hypothetical)
إِذَا proposes; لَوْ argues a counterfactual.
يَذْكُرُ ≠ يُوصِي بِـ
Mentioning a point is not recommending it.
| Reporting verb | Signals | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| أَكَّدَ | high certainty | confident source |
| اِدَّعَى / زَعَمَ | doubt | writer is sceptical |
| اِعْتَرَفَ بِـ | concession | admits reluctantly |
| أَوْضَحَ | neutral | explains plainly |
أَكَّدَ الوَزِيرُ أَنَّ … signals a confident, official source; اِدَّعَى / زَعَمَ بَعْضُ المُنْتَقِدِينَ أَنَّ … signals the writer's doubt; اِعْتَرَفَ بِأَنَّ … concedes a point. Reading this layer — not just what is said, but how confidently — is a core R3 skill.
إِذَا زَادَ الإِنْفَاقُ، سَتَتَحَسَّنُ النَّتَائِجُ proposes a real change. لَوْ زَادَ الإِنْفَاقُ، لَتَحَسَّنَتِ النَّتَائِجُ argues from a counterfactual — implying it did not increase. Spotting which type is used tells you what argument the writer is making.

Every answer checks a stated rule, change or agreement decision.

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 reporting-verb reading, conditional reading and stance judgement is accurate on its own, so any three different combinations work.
Correct the certainty reading
Repair the claim about what اِدَّعَى signals.«اِدَّعَى» تَعْنِي أَنَّ الكَاتِبَ وَاثِقٌ.
اِدَّعَى ← شَكٌّاِدَّعَى signals doubt, not confidence.
Separate mention from recommendation
Correct the inference about mentioning a point.ذِكْرُ الفَجْوَةِ يَعْنِي التَّوْصِيَةَ بِسَدِّهَا.
ذِكْرٌ ≠ تَوْصِيَةٌMentioning a point is not recommending it.
Real or hypothetical argument?
Pick the reading that matches each conditional to the writer's argument.Text A writes «إِذَا اسْتَمَرَّ الاِسْتِثْمَارُ، سَتَتَقَلَّصُ الفَجْوَةُ». Text B writes «لَوْ كَانَتِ المَدَارِسُ مُمَوَّلَةً، لَاخْتَفَتِ الفَجْوَةُ». Match each conditional to the argument it makes.
إِذَا … سَـ proposes a real change; لَوْ … لَـ argues a counterfactual.
0/3 purposeful tasks secured.
