01Put the description after the noun
This lesson practises ordinary singular nouns and adjectives that directly describe them. The Arabic adjective follows its noun.
بَيْتٌ = a house; كَبِيرٌ = big. Both are masculine singular and indefinite.
حَقِيبَةٌ = a bag; جَدِيدَةٌ = new. Both are feminine singular. The final ة is visible on both.
02Match definiteness; keep the meaning
Add الْـ to both words to name a particular described thing. In the simple sentence pattern below, the indefinite adjective instead supplies the comment.
Both words are definite. This phrase names the bag.
جَدِيدَةٌ is the predicate here, not an adjective inside the definite noun phrase.
03The case follows too
When a preposition makes the noun genitive, its adjective follows. With the ordinary singular words used here, both endings become kasra.
فِي = in. The noun and its adjective both end in ـِ.
Both words are indefinite and genitive, so both carry double kasra.
04A quick check before you answer
Find the noun. Then check its adjective: singular masculine or feminine? Definite or indefinite? Which case? The adjective must match these ordinary singular nouns.
Number also matters beyond this lesson, but do not assume every plural takes a plural adjective: non-human plurals commonly take a feminine singular adjective. Start with the singular pattern here; learn plural patterns separately.
The Arabic noun’s grammatical gender controls the agreement, not the gender or shape of its English translation. Case endings are shown to expose the pattern; a final short case ending is often omitted at a pause.
