Object Pronouns

• Object Pronouns. You remember what was mentioned earlier that possessive pronouns are suffixed to nouns. Now, I would like to remind you that object pronouns are suffixed to the verbs. Please, notice the difference of the pronouns in the following sentences:

         a. (Possessive Pronoun)           کتابُها علی الطاولةِ.

       
        b. (Object Pronoun)                شاهدتُها في السوقِ.

• The word ما has different meanings, depending on the context. It could mean "what," and in this case you are expected to have a demonstrative pronoun or a definite noun following it.

             What is this?                           ما هذا؟

      
             What is his job?                  ما عملـُهُ؟      

  

    When the question word  ما is followed by a verb in the past tense, it changes its own function to a negation particle.

I did not eat at this restaurant.  ما أکلتُ في هذا المطعم.
