Fb 1546481618: Arabic Prepositions

* In this lesson we will learn about some of the prepositions, In-Shā'-Allâh (God willing). A preposition is a word which shows the relation of one word to another. For example, "....the key is '''in''' the car...." or "....the book is '''on''' the table....".
* Some of the most common prepositions are:
*
{| class="wikitable"
|In
|[null فِي]
|-
|On
|[null عَلَىٰ]
|-
|From
|[null مِنْ]
|-
|To
|[null إِلَىٰ]
|}
* We will also learn about the rule applied for the use of prepositions in Arabic Language. The following rules are applied for the use of prepositions:

*# A preposition ([null حَرْفُ الْجَرِّ]- called /harf ul ĵarr/ in Arabic) is a single letter or a word which connects two nouns, or a verb and a noun to form a sentence. As above this is generally showing the position of one word to another. It always precedes a word and never follows the word.
*# A preposition always comes before a noun and it does not come before a verb.
*# The noun following a preposition is changed from nominative case to genitive case. This means that the last letter of the word will be changed from a /đammah/ or /đammatain/ to a /kasrah/ or /kasratain/.
*# The noun followed by a preposition is called /Maĵrūr/ [null مَجْرُورٌ] which means the preposition has caused a change in its case (from nominative to genitive case) as mentioned in the previous rule.
