A Hundred and One Rules in Arabic Grammar!
- The Verbal Noun المَصدَر ==============================
The Verbal Noun المَصدَر is a noun that is derived from a verb. Therefore, it acts like a noun, as in the following examples:
a. a subject العَمَلُ في هذهِ الشرکةِ صَعبٌ.
b. an object **اُحِبُّ القراءَةَ. **
c. a first term of Idaafa بِناءُ المَدارس ِ شيءٌ جَيِّدٌ.
d. a second term of Idaafe **کِتابُ القراءَةِ جَديدٌ. **
e. a predicate هوايَتي هي الطـَّبخُ.
A verbal noun derived from a transitive verb does sometimes act like that verb and would take an object.
