14. The way of constructing a Nominal Sentence
O A nominal sentence consists of two parts
ٌ
أ
َ
دَت
ج
بُم Subject (Focal point of the sentence)
ٌ
ة
َ
فِر
ج
عَم
ٌ َب
َ
خ
ٌ
رةِك
َ
ن
Predicate (News orinformation
about Subject)
1
2
16. Note: Noun that ends in Tanwin ( ) is
ٌ
ةَرِك
َ
ن (indefinite)
ٌت
ج
يَب
ٌ
دِججسَمA Mosque
A house
17. However when an Adjective comes as an indefinite noun
we cannot translate it with ( A). Here are some examples-
ٌور ُس
ج
كَم
ٌ
ضجيِرَمA sick
A broken
ٌ
دِارَبA cold
18. ٌ ج
يِم
َ
ض (Pronoun) also comes as
ٌ
ا
َ
دَت
ج
بُم
(Subject)
Pronoun is considered
ٌ
ة
َ
فِر
ج
عَم because it replaces a noun which
is made known to listener beforehand. Example-
Khalid came to Dhaka. Khalid wanted to
get admitted at IUT. Khalid took part in
the admission test. Khalid passed the
exam and could get admitted at the
university.
19. ٌ ج
يِم
َ
ض (Personal Pronoun) also comes
as
ٌ
ا
َ
دَت
ج
بُم (Subject)
Personal Pronoun is considered
ٌ

عَم because it replaces a
noun which is made known to listener beforehand. Example-
