Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: B8.2.3.1.3 - Identify the adjectives in a piece of text in terms of gender, number and grammatical function.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify adjectives in a simple Arabic text and state their position within the nominal phrase.
Determine whether an adjective is masculine (مُذَكَّر) or feminine (مُؤَنَّث) and justify their answer using the noun it describes.
Classify adjectives by number as singular (مُفْرَد), dual (مُثَنَّى) or plural (جَمْع) based on the noun they qualify.
Explain the grammatical function of an adjective (that it follows its noun in gender, number and definiteness).
Apply this knowledge by underlining adjectives in a short passage and verbally explaining each feature to a partner.
