This is a simple lecture that gives a list of Proper Nouns that you can use to practice Arabic Sentences.

This lecture explains how to use Adjectives in Descriptive Phrases and as Predicates in Nominal Sentences. These are typical use of adjectives.

Adjectives sometimes work with Intensifiers to magnify the weight of the adjectives. In english 'very' is an intensifier e.g 'He is very tall'. 'Very' here intensifiers the adjective 'tall'. 

Adjective agreement is an importance concept in Arabic. The agreement is with the noun that it qualifies. In English this is not a very important aspect of grammar. In Arabic, an adjective agrees with the noun in terms of Plurals and Feminine when used in Predicates. When used in Descriptive Phrases, the adjective agrees with the noun in terms of Plurals, Feminine, Definiteness and Cases.

Multiple Adjectives in sentences is when there are two or more adjectives qualifying a noun.

Feminine is Arabic is a concept that should be understood well to get correct sentences. This is because things in Arabic have gender (this is not the case in English) and because agreement of adjectives to nouns are common occurrences.

This lecture explains how to form plurals and the different kinds of Plurals in Arabic.

In Arabic there are three kinds of numbers: Singular, Duals and Plurals. Duals is not present in English. Duals is for the case of two things. Nouns and adjectives have dual forms and this lecture explains how to form Dual forms. 

Prepositions are used almost like in English e.g 'in the market', 'to his school', 'on the table'. The 'in', 'to', 'on' have similar functions in Arabic. This lecture explains the main prepositions and how they affect the nouns in the prepositional phrase.

Attached pronouns with nouns are when the Pronouns attach with Nouns to form one word. E.g Her book is Kitabuha. 

Attached Pronouns with Prepositions is when the Preposition attached with the following Pronoun to form one word. E.g 'on him' as Alayhi. 

Possessives in Arabic are a separate construct type that is made up from two Nouns, in which, one noun is the 'Possessed' and the other is 'Possessed'. E.g The teacher's bag. Bag and Teacher are two nouns that can form the Possessive. 

Demonstratives are used when pointing to something e.g 'This boy' is a demonstrative phrase and the 'This' is Hadha in Arabic, which is what is meant by Demonstratives.

Comparatives are special adjectives used to compare two or more things. In English 'faster' is used to compare the speed of two things and 'faster' is a comparative.

This is the second kind of sentences: Verbal Sentences. They start with Verbs and they are constructed differently from Nominal Sentences. 

Verbal Tenses are simpler than in English. Tenses are broadly categorized in two: Perfect & Imperfect. Perfect are for past or completed actions. Imperfect is for future/present or actions not completed.
