A Hundred and One Rules in Arabic Grammar!
- The Idaafa (revisited). ===========================
Arabic grammar does not allow anything to be placed between the first and second term of Idaafa except for a demonstrative pronoun. Therefore,
(a) the student’s book کتابُ الطالبةِ
is correct and
(b) this student’s book کتابُ هذهِ الطالبةِ
is also correct. But,
(c)کتابُها الطالبة ِ
is incorrect due to the fact that the possessive pronoun (ـها ) is inserted between the first and second terms of Idaafa.
