إِصْلَاحُ أَخْطَاءِ السَّنَةِ العَاشِرَةِ الشَّائِعَةِ
Targeted error correction across the five structures: إِنَّ/أَنَّ, reported pronouns, كَانَ agreement, the verb after قَدْ, and the لَـ of the Type 2 result.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
إِنَّ after قَالَ, أَنَّ after أَكَّدَ.
Past-perfect agreement and past verb after قَدْ.
Type 2: لَوْ + past → لَـ + past.
قَالَ إِنَّ · (غَيْرُهُ) أَنَّ
Only قَالَ takes إِنَّ.
كَانَ / كَانَتْ + قَدْ + past
كَانَ agrees with the subject; the verb after قَدْ is past.
إِذَا … سَـ · لَوْ … لَـ
A Type 1 result takes سَـ; a Type 2 result takes لَـ.
يَتَفَوَّقُ فِي · يُؤَهِّلُ لِـ
Each academic verb keeps its own preposition.
| Error zone | Wrong | Right |
|---|---|---|
| إِنَّ/أَنَّ | قَالَ أَنَّ | قَالَ إِنَّ |
| كَانَ agreement | كَانَتْ قَدْ ذَهَبَ | كَانَتْ قَدْ ذَهَبَتْ |
| verb after قَدْ | كَانَ قَدْ يَذْهَبُ | كَانَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ |
| Type 2 result | لَوْ دَرَسَ، نَجَحَ | لَوْ دَرَسَ، لَنَجَحَ |
First, قَالَ أَنَّ instead of قَالَ إِنَّ. Second, كَانَ / كَانَتْ failing to agree with the subject, or a present verb after قَدْ. Third, a Type 2 result without the لَـ: لَوْ دَرَسَ، نَجَحَ should be لَوْ دَرَسَ، لَنَجَحَ.
In the topic conversation, some questions require a specific structure: Q2 the past perfect, Q3 reported speech, Q5 a Type 2 conditional. The mark comes from producing it spontaneously: لَوْ كَانَتْ ظُرُوفِي مُخْتَلِفَةً، لَتَغَيَّرَ مَسَارِي. Rehearse until it is automatic.
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.

Fix إِنَّ after قَالَ
Repair the particle after قَالَ.قَالَ أُسْتَاذِي أَنَّنِي مُجْتَهِدٌ.
قَالَ + ؟Only قَالَ takes إِنَّ.
Fix the past-perfect agreement
Make the verb after قَدْ agree with the subject.كَانَتْ قَدْ ذَهَبَ زَيْنَبُ إِلَى الجَامِعَةِ.
المُطَابَقَةُكَانَتْ and ذَهَبَتْ both agree with the feminine subject.
Fix the Type 2 result
Repair the لَوْ result so it uses the لَـ prefix.لَوْ عَمِلَ بِجِدٍّ، نَجَحَ.
لَوْ … لَـA Type 2 result takes the لَـ prefix on a past verb.

Strong learners do not only recognise an error: they identify the system and repair it.
قَالَ أَنَّ التَّعْلِيمَ مُهِمٌّ.
قَالَ إِنَّ التَّعْلِيمَ مُهِمٌّ.
Only قَالَ takes إِنَّ.
كَانَتْ قَدْ ذَهَبَ إِلَى الجَامِعَةِ.
كَانَتْ قَدْ ذَهَبَتْ إِلَى الجَامِعَةِ.
The verb after قَدْ must agree with the feminine subject.
لَوْ عَمِلَ بِجِدٍّ، نَجَحَ.
لَوْ عَمِلَ بِجِدٍّ، لَنَجَحَ.
A Type 2 result takes the لَـ prefix.
