إِصْلَاحُ أَخْطَاءِ السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ الشَّائِعَةِ
Targeted error correction across the spine: the Type 2 لَـ result, the past verb after لَوْ, the subjunctive after أَنْ, and tourism-verb agreement.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
Type 2: لَوْ + past → لَـ.
Subjunctive after أَنْ.
Agreement and Form X.
لَوْ + past → لَـ + past
The result verb carries a لَـ prefix.
لَوْ + past (not present)
لَوْ is followed by a past-tense verb.
يُسْتَحْسَنُ أَنْ + naṣb
The verb after أَنْ takes a fatḥa.
تُبْهِرُ (f.) · يَسْتَقْطِبُ (Form X)
يُبْهِرُ agrees with its subject; يَسْتَقْطِبُ keeps the Form X shape.
| Error zone | Wrong | Right |
|---|---|---|
| Type 2 result | لَوْ حَجَزْتُ، حَصَلْتُ | لَوْ حَجَزْتُ، لَحَصَلْتُ |
| verb after لَوْ | لَوْ أَزُورُ | لَوْ زُرْتُ |
| subjunctive | أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمُ | أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ |
| agreement | يُبْهِرُ المَدِينَةُ | تُبْهِرُ المَدِينَةُ |
First, a Type 2 result without the لَـ: لَوْ حَجَزْتُ، حَصَلْتُ should be لَوْ حَجَزْتُ، لَحَصَلْتُ. Second, a present verb after لَوْ instead of a past one. Third, an indicative verb after أَنْ instead of the subjunctive: يُسْتَحْسَنُ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ, not يَتَعَلَّمُ.
When a question opens with لَوْ (لَوْ كَانَ لَدَيْكَ مِيزَانِيَّةٌ غَيْرُ مَحْدُودَةٍ …), reply with a Type 2 conditional: لَوْ كَانَ لَدَيَّ … لَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى … Answering with إِذَا is conditional avoidance and loses the mark.
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 background, Type 1 view and Type 2 hypothesis is accurate on its own, so any three different combinations work.
Fix the Type 2 result
Repair the counterfactual so it uses the لَـ prefix.لَوْ حَجَزْتُ مُبَكِّرًا، حَصَلْتُ عَلَى سِعْرٍ أَرْخَصَ.
لَوْ … لَـA Type 2 result takes the لَـ prefix on a past verb.
Fix the subjunctive after أَنْ
Repair the verb after أَنْ.يُسْتَحْسَنُ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمُ الزَّائِرُ التَّحِيَّةَ.
أَنْ + مَنْصُوبٌAfter أَنْ the verb takes a fatḥa: يَتَعَلَّمَ.
Fix the agreement
Make the tourism verb agree with the feminine subject.يُبْهِرُ المَدِينَةُ زُوَّارَهَا.
المَدِينَةُ مُؤَنَّثَةٌالمَدِينَة is feminine, so the verb is تُبْهِرُ, with a direct object.

Keep the لَـ in the Type 2 result, a past verb after لَوْ, the subjunctive after أَنْ, and correct tourism-verb agreement.

Spot · explain · repair
Strong learners do not only recognise an error: they identify the system and repair it.
لَوْ حَجَزْتُ مُبَكِّرًا، حَصَلْتُ عَلَى تَعْوِيضٍ.
لَوْ حَجَزْتُ مُبَكِّرًا، لَحَصَلْتُ عَلَى تَعْوِيضٍ.
A Type 2 result takes the لَـ prefix.
يُسْتَحْسَنُ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمُ الزَّائِرُ.
يُسْتَحْسَنُ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ الزَّائِرُ.
The verb after أَنْ is subjunctive: يَتَعَلَّمَ.
يُبْهِرُ المَدِينَةُ زُوَّارَهَا.
تُبْهِرُ المَدِينَةُ زُوَّارَهَا.
المَدِينَة is feminine, so the verb is تُبْهِرُ.
