سَمَاعُ بُنَى السَّنَةِ العَاشِرَةِ فِي الكَلَامِ السَّرِيعِ
A listening toolkit: decode reported speech, distinguish conditional types by their signal words, and catch the fast past-perfect unit.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
Verb + إِنَّ + pronoun + kept future.
لَوْ signals a counterfactual.
Fast past-perfect unit كُنْتُ قَدْ.
verb + إِنَّ/أَنَّ + content
The verb tells you the source; the pronoun tells you about whom.
إِذَا … سَـ (real) · لَوْ … لَـ (unreal)
The signal word fixes the meaning of the answer.
كَانَ-قَدْ-verb
Spoken fast as one unit; hear all three parts.
first person vs reporting verb
A reporting verb signals a cited view, not the speaker's own.
| You hear | It signals | Listen for |
|---|---|---|
| قَالَ / أَشَارَ + إِنَّ/أَنَّ | reported speech | the source and content |
| كَانَ قَدْ | past perfect | a prior completed action |
| إِذَا … سَـ | real conditional | a genuine plan |
| لَوْ … لَـ | hypothetical | a counterfactual |
«قَالَ مُرْشِدِي إِنَّنِي سَأَنْجَحُ» — catch the reporting verb (قَالَ = who), the particle plus pronoun (إِنَّنِي = what is reported, and about whom), and the content (سَأَنْجَحُ = future kept). Missing any part loses the meaning.
If you hear إِذَا + a verb and then سَـ, the speaker means a real, possible plan. If you hear لَوْ + a past verb, they are imagining an unreal case. That single word changes what the answer means.
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 reported claim, conditional reading and past-perfect fact is accurate on its own, so any three different combinations work.
Read the reporting verb correctly
Correct the claim about whose view is reported.«قَالَ الخَبِيرُ إِنَّ الإِصْلَاحَ ضَرُورِيٌّ» يَعْنِي رَأْيَ المُتَحَدِّثِ.
الفِعْلُ النَّاقِلُ ← مَصْدَرٌ آخَرُA reporting verb cites another source, not the speaker's own view.
Read لَوْ as hypothetical
Correct the interpretation of لَوْ.سَمِعْتُ «لَوْ» فَفَهِمْتُ أَنَّهُ خُطَّةٌ وَاقِعِيَّةٌ.
لَوْ ← افْتِرَاضٌلَوْ signals a hypothetical case, not a real plan.
Fix أَشَارَ's preposition
Repair the complement after أَشَارَ.أَشَارَ الخَبِيرُ أَنَّ الإِصْلَاحَ ضَرُورِيٌّ.

«قَالَ الخَبِيرُ إِنَّ الإِصْلَاحَ ضَرُورِيٌّ» يَنْقُلُ رَأْيَ الخَبِيرِ.
A reporting verb cites another source, not the speaker's own view.
سَمِعْتُ «لَوْ» فَفَهِمْتُ أَنَّهُ خُطَّةٌ وَاقِعِيَّةٌ.
سَمِعْتُ «لَوْ» فَفَهِمْتُ أَنَّهُ افْتِرَاضٌ.
لَوْ signals a hypothetical, not a real plan.
أَشَارَ الخَبِيرُ أَنَّ الإِصْلَاحَ ضَرُورِيٌّ.
أَشَارَ الخَبِيرُ إِلَى أَنَّ الإِصْلَاحَ ضَرُورِيٌّ.
أَشَارَ is fixed with إِلَى before أَنَّ.

يَقُولُ الطَّالِبُ: بِحُلُولِ نِهَايَةِ الثَّانَوِيَّةِ، كُنْتُ قَدْ قَرَّرْتُ دِرَاسَةَ الهَنْدَسَةِ، وَكُنْتُ قَدْ حَصَلْتُ عَلَى خِبْرَةٍ عَمَلِيَّةٍ. قَالَ مُرْشِدِي إِنَّنِي مُؤَهَّلٌ، وَأَكَّدَ أَنَّ اجْتِهَادِي سَيُثْمِرُ. إِذَا قُبِلْتُ فِي الجَامِعَةِ الَّتِي أُرِيدُهَا، سَأَتَخَصَّصُ فِي الطَّاقَةِ المُتَجَدِّدَةِ. وَلَوْ تَوَافَرَتْ لِي مَوَارِدُ أَفْضَلُ فِي المَدْرَسَةِ، لَكُنْتُ قَدْ تَقَدَّمْتُ أَسْرَعَ. وَأَشَارَ تَقْرِيرٌ إِلَى أَنَّ نِسْبَةَ القَبُولِ فِي هٰذَا المَجَالِ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ. أَرَى أَنَّ ضَغْطَ الامْتِحَانَاتِ كَبِيرٌ، لٰكِنَّهُ يَدْفَعُنِي إِلَى العَمَلِ. سَوْفَ أُسْهِمُ فِي مَجَالِي بَعْدَ التَّخَرُّجِ.

قَبْلَ الاسْتِمَاعِ، أَقْرَأُ الأَسْئِلَةَ وَأُحَدِّدُ مَا يَطْلُبُهُ كُلٌّ مِنْهَا. إِذَا كَانَ السُّؤَالُ عَنْ كَلَامٍ مَنْقُولٍ، أَنْتَظِرُ فِعْلًا نَاقِلًا مَعَ «إِنَّ» أَوْ «أَنَّ»، ثُمَّ أَنْتَبِهُ إِلَى الضَّمِيرِ لِأَعْرِفَ عَمَّنْ يَتَحَدَّثُ. وَأُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ «إِذَا» الحَقِيقِيَّةِ وَ«لَوْ» الافْتِرَاضِيَّةِ، لِأَنَّ الإِجَابَةَ تَخْتَلِفُ بِحَسَبِ نَوْعِ الشَّرْطِ. وَأَلْتَقِطُ «كَانَ قَدْ» بِوَصْفِهَا وَحْدَةً سَرِيعَةً تَدُلُّ عَلَى إِنْجَازٍ سَابِقٍ. وَأَخِيرًا، أَتَذَكَّرُ أَنَّ الفِعْلَ النَّاقِلَ يَنْقُلُ رَأْيَ مَصْدَرٍ آخَرَ لَا رَأْيَ المُتَحَدِّثِ، فَلَا أَخْلِطُ بَيْنَهُمَا.
