(1) The original book of EMSA has 'she' then 'he'. I have placed 'he' first as this is more appropriate. All verbs come from ‘he’ and not
the other way round, even alphabetically in Arabic it comes first. Which ever language you learn you learn 'he' then 'she'!!??

‫تعريف‬
(Definition)

EMSA Lesson 2: Page 109

'Interrogative' in English are used in questions i.e. Where is he going?

EMSA Lesson 2: Page 113

Please learn these names in Arabic. They are very important.

Nominative......…...………….. ‫مرفوع‬
Accusative (5).........…………..‫منصوب‬

Genitive (5) & (6)..….……….. ‫مجرور‬

(5)The original book of EMSA has 'genitive' then 'accusative'. I have changed the order since Arabic grammar is learnt from the Arabs
and Arabic grammar books which have the above order.
(6) Some Arabic Grammar books mention here ''‫الخفض‬

EMSA Lesson 2: Page 112

'Citation forms' loosely means references.

EMSA Lesson 2: Page 112

Please learn these names in Arabic. They are very important.

Subject......…...………….. ‫البتدأ‬
Accusative (5)......…..…………..‫الخبر‬
EMSA Lesson 2: Page 113

'Arabic grammatic Error' (7)

(c) A noun after the vocative particles ‫يا‬ is in the nominative case and without nunation:

‫اآلجُرُّ و ِميَّ ِة‬

..، ‫ المفرد العلم‬: ‫المنادى خمسة أنواع‬..........‫ "يا زيد" و"يا رجل" فيبنيان على الضم من غير تنوين‬: ‫نحو‬
‫ح ْال ُمقَ ِّد َم ِة اآلجُرُّ و ِميَّ ِة‬
ِ ْ‫( التُحْ فَةٌ ال َسنيَة بِشَر‬page 126)
‫ إذا كان المنادى مفرداً أو نكرة مقصودة فإنه يُبنى على ما يرفع به؛ فإن كان يُرفع بالضمة فإنه يبنى على‬:‫وأقول‬
ُ‫ نحو « يا محم ُد » و « يا فاطمة‬،‫» الضمة‬
(7) I have not explained it in English but take it from a basic Arabic grammar book. Which can be downloaded here InshAllah
