Lesson 25

Question 1

i) كان

Answer 1

i) كان Mentions that if the khabr is J-majroor, not affected by the fatHa of N.

ii) لايَزَالُ is one of the sisters of كان - it means ‘he still is’.
e. g. لا يزالُ بلالٌ مريضاً

Question 2

Asma-al-khamsa - revise!

Answer 2

(esp أبٌ and أخٌ)

Question 3

If the mudhaaf ilayhi is omitted, قبلَ and بعدَ become indeclineable, and always have DHAMMA.

Answer 3

e.g. أبي الآن مديرٌ, و كانَ مِن قبلُ مدرِّساً

Here من قبلُ is short for مِن قبلِ ذالك (before that), but the mudhaaf ilayhi (ذالك) has been ommitted.

Same with مِن بعدُ

Question 4

v) مَرْضى is the plural of مريضٌ - the pl is a diptote, and so has no tanwin.

Answer 4

Killed قتيلٌ - becomes قَتْلى (pl)
Prisoner أسيرٌ becomes أسرَى (pl)
Wounded جريحٌ becomes جَرحَى (pl)
Stupid أَحْمَقُ becomes حَمْقَى
