- The Equational Sentences. As indicated earlier, an equational sentence in Arabic is a sentence without a verb. It consists of two parts, a subject and a predicate. The subject could be (a) a demonstrative pronoun, (b) a personal pronoun, or (c) a noun, while the predicate may be either of these, as well as (c) an adjective, (d) an adverb, or (e) a prepositional phrase.
(a) a subject demonstrative pronoun . هذهِ کليَّة ٌ
(b) a subject personal pronoun . أنا محمدٌ
(c) a subject noun الاستاذ ُ في الصفِّ.
(a) a predicate personal pronoun الاستاذ ُ أنا.
(b) a predicate noun . الاستاذ ُ محمدٌّ
(c) a predicate indefinite adjective الاستاذ ُ جديدٌ .
(d) a predicate adverb الاستاذ ُ هناكَ.
(e) a predicate prep. phrase الاستاذ ُ فِي المکتبِ.
A pronoun of separation could be added in example (b) above, where both the subject and the predicate are nouns.
الاستاذ ُ هو محمدٌّ.
