What is This Tutorial About?

When we talk about speech in Arabic, we typically divide it into three categories:

• words
• phrases
• sentences

There are many types of phrases in the language – over a dozen, in fact. Each of these are introduced slowly and gradually as a student studies sentences and grammatical structures. They are studied as needed and as encountered.

• the adjectival phrase (a noun and an adjective describing it)
• the possessive phrase (two nouns, one “belonging” to the other)
