Arabic grammar practice: find and fix the mistake

Each sentence has one wrong word: an adjective in the wrong gender, a verb that doesnโ€™t match its subject, a plural that should be singular. Find it, then read the corrected sentence and the rule.

A Spot the Mistake round: an Arabic sentence with its English meaning and one wrong word to find

Mistakes you can prove

Every mistake clashes with another word in the same sentence, so you can always point to why it is wrong: the noun it should agree with is right there.

The mistakes learners make

Gender agreement, verb endings, singular and plural, and possessive endings: the four things that most often give a learner away.

Common questions

Is Arabic grammar the same in every dialect?

The agreement rules are close, but verb prefixes, negation and demonstratives differ. The sentences and corrections follow the dialect you pick.

Do I need to know grammar terms?

No. The explanations point to the words that clash, in plain English.
