Hello guys once again!
Now I'm facing a different problem ... nominal sentences have been my worst nightmare ever since! Seriosuly, I always mess up , with all those 'hada', 'hadihi' , if i t should be with -al or without ... Do you know, perhaps, where I could find a nice explanation on this area of grammar? Perhaps some grammar book, websites or even a piece of advice? I'd be really greateful :) Regards, Wojtek 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm just a beginner myself so I can't help. However if you join the TAC 2013 Middle
Eastern team our team godmother might be able to help you as she's a native speaker. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I really like Wightwick and Gaafar's Essentials of Arabic Grammar, which has a very simple explanation:
هذا كتاب (This is a book) هذا الكتاب (This book) The first is a sentence, the second is not. You need to add a pronoun, in this case هو, if you want to say the sentence "This is the book": هذا هو الكتاب Of course, the Arab grammarians have a word for this, too: جملة اسمية. Using this in Google allowed me to find this Arabic language learning blog which says the same thing, although in a different and somewhat difficult way, since the three examples at the end of the article are not all sentences, only the last one is.
