Nominal Sentence ( (اَلْجُمْلَةُ الاسْمِيَّةُ
What is a sentence?
Sentence is a group of words which make complete sense.
Muhammad is a student.
Hamid is sick.
The core ingredients of any sentence are a subject and a predicate. The subject names a person, a place
or a thing we are talking about. The predicate makes a statement about the subject. In other words the
predicate is the part of a sentence which expresses what is said about the subject.

In the above two sentences Muhammad and Hamid are subjects and “is a student” and “is sick” are
predicates.
In Arabic language there are two kinds of sentences.
The one which begins with a noun ( اِسْمٌ ) is called nominal sentence الْجُمْلَةُ الاسْمِيَّةُ
And the one which begins with a verb ( فِعْلٌ ) is called verbal sentence الْجُمْلَةُ الْفِعْلِيَّةُ
We shall discuss here only the nominal sentence.
A simple nominal sentence is of this form:
Zayd is learned. زَيْدٌ عَالِمٌ
Fatimah is learned. فَاطِمَةُ عَالِمَة
The boy is intelligent. اَلْوَلَدُ ذكَِيٌّ
The girl is beautiful. اَلْبِنْتُ جَمِيْلَةٌ
Just like in English, a nominal sentence in Arabic has two parts:
Subject ( اَلْمُبْتَدَأُ ) and Predicate ( ( اَلْخَبَرُ
The noun with which the nominal sentence begins is called ( مُبْتَدَأٌ ) subject, and the other part
which says something about it is called ( خَبَرٌ ) predicate.
Usually, the subject of a nominal sentence is a definite noun, either a proper noun like Zayd and
Fatimah , a noun with the definite article like اَلْوَلَدُ and اَلْبِنْتُ or a pronoun.
The predicate is usually indefinite, and agrees in gender with the subject.
Both the subject and the predicate are marfu مَرْفُوعٌ , that is, it will have one dumma or tanween (double) dumma.
