Gender, Number, Case, and Definiteness.
Wrong: كتاب جديدة (Book – masc. but adjective fem.)
Correct: كتاب جديد (a new book) arabic grammar class 10 cbse
Special Rule for Plural: Non-human plurals (books, pens, etc.) are treated as feminine singular for adjectives.
Example: كتب جديدة – NOT كتب جديدون. In Arabic, the adjective (صفة) follows the described
| Mistake | Why It's Wrong | The Fix |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Writing فِي المَدْرَسَةُ | After a preposition (فِي), the noun must be Genitive (Kasra), not Nominative (Damma). | فِي المَدْرَسَةِ |
| Saying كِتَابَ جَدِيد | In a descriptive phrase, both the noun and adjective must match in case, gender, and number. | كِتَابٌ جَدِيدٌ |
| Forgetting the hidden pronoun | In الوَلَدُ يَكْتُبُ, the "he" is hidden inside the verb. | Remember: The verb alone means "he writes". | Example: كتب جديدة – NOT كتب جديدون
| Near | Far | | --- | --- | | هذا (this – masc.) | ذلك (that – masc.) | | هذه (this – fem.) | تلك (that – fem.) | | هؤلاء (these – plural) | أولئك (those – plural) |
Rule for CBSE: The Musharun ilayhi (pointed-to noun) must agree in gender and number.
