Arabic: An Essential Grammar
Arabic An Essential Grammar by Faruk Abu-Chacra
ARABIC AN ESSENTIAL GRAMMAR
The core grammar and structure of modern literary Arabic are described in this work. It is jam-packed with activities and provides a solid basis for reading and writing Arabic in newspapers, books, broadcasting, and formal discourse, as well as a self-study course. Modern terminology and terms from everyday use are included in the tasks and examples.
There are 39 chapters in total, including an appendix with tables for verb forms and conjugation paradigms. Each chapter builds on the previous one and complements it. As a result, it is advised that the learner master each lesson before progressing to the next.
All Arabic examples and exercises are fully transliterated into the Latin alphabet up to chapter 22. The transliteration is only used in the exercises from Chapter 22 onwards.
There are two sorts of exercises: translating Arabic sentences into English and translating English sentences into Arabic. The words in English to Arabic translation exercises come from the same chapter’s Arabic to English exercises.
Most Arabic words in the exercises are indexed with a superscript number, and the comparable English word is given the same number. This eliminates the need for readers to utilize Arabic–English dictionaries, which would be problematic for an Arabic student at this point. I am convinced that this book will be of tremendous use to individuals who have began or will begin the study of Arabic, as well as to teachers.

“The Arabic script
The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters representing consonants. In addition there are three vowel signs which are used in writing both short and long vowels.
Moreover, there are various other orthographic signs that are explained in the following chapters.
The 28 letters are written from right to left. When writing words, the letters are connected (joined) together from both sides, except in the case of six letters, which can only be joined from the right side.
These letters are numbered 1, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 27 in the table below and are marked with an asterisk (*).
It is important to remember that these letters cannot be connected to the following letter (i.e. on their left side).
Most of the letters are written in slightly different forms depending on their location in the word: initially, medially, finally or standing alone. There are no capital letters.
Arabic grammarians use three different names for the alphabet:”
