Introduction: | |||
In the previous lesson, we learned about pronouns in Arabic and how to use them in different contexts. Pronouns are an essential part of any language, as they help us refer to people, objects, and places without repeating their names. In this lesson, we will continue our journey through Arabic grammar by exploring the world of prepositions. Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or a pronoun and another word in the sentence. They help us express location, time, direction, and many other important concepts. By understanding and mastering prepositions, you will be able to construct more complex sentences and convey your thoughts more accurately in Arabic. | |||
