Have you ever wondered how to build a sentence in Arabic starting with a verb? Let’s learn about الجُمْلَةُ الفِعْلِيَّةُ (the verbal sentence), one of the fundamental sentence structures in Arabic.

A verbal sentence is a sentence that begins with a verb. Its basic structure can be:

فِعْلٌ + فَاعِلٌ

Verb + Doer (Subject).

Let’s look at each part.

1. الفِعْلُ — The verb

The verb expresses the action.

2. الفَاعِلُ — The doer (subject)

The فَاعِلُ is the person or thing that performs the action. In a verbal sentence, it is usually مَرْفُوعٌ (in the nominative case).

3. المَفْعُولُ بِهِ — The object

The مَفْعُولٌ بِهِ is the person or thing receiving the action. When present, it is usually مَنْصُوبٌ (in the accusative case).

Examples:

Example 1: A verbal sentence with an object:

كَتَبَ الطَّالِبُ الدَّرْسَ.

The student wrote the lesson.

كَتَبَ — فِعْلٌ (Verb): wrote

الطَّالِبُ — فَاعِلٌ (Doer): the student

الدَّرْسَ — مَفْعُولٌ بِهِ (Object): the lesson

Example 2: A verbal sentence with an object:

أَكَلَ الوَلَدُ التُّفَّاحَةَ.

The boy ate the apple.

أَكَلَ — فِعْلٌ (Verb): ate

الوَلَدُ — فَاعِلٌ (Doer): the boy

التُّفَّاحَةَ — مَفْعُولٌ بِهِ (Object): the apple

Example 3: A verbal sentence without an object:

خَرَجَ مُحَمَّدٌ.

Muhammad left.

خَرَجَ — فِعْلٌ (Verb): went

مُحَمَّدٌ — فَاعِلٌ (Doer): Muhammad

There is no مَفْعُولٌ بِهِ because the verb خَرَجَ does not require a direct object. The sentence is complete.

Example 4: A verbal sentence without an object:

نَامَ الطِّفْلُ.

The child slept.

نَامَ — فِعْلٌ (Verb): slept

الطِّفْلُ — فَاعِلٌ (Doer): the child

There is no مَفْعُولٌ بِهِ because the verb نَامَ does not take a direct object. The sentence is complete with just the verb and the doer.

Important note:

A جُمْلَةٌ فِعْلِيَّةٌ does not always need مفعول به. Some verbs take a direct object, while others do not.

كَتَبَ الطَّالِبُ الدَّرْسَ.

The student wrote the lesson.

This sentence contains a verb, a doer, and an object.

خَرَجَ مُحَمَّدٌ.

Muhammad left.

This sentence contains only a verb and a doer, and it is still grammatically complete.

Understanding this structure will help you recognize grammatical roles, read Arabic more confidently, and build your own correct sentences.

Now it’s your turn! Can you write a جُمْلَةٌ فِعْلِيَّةٌ in Arabic? Try writing one with a مَفْعُولٌ بِهِ and one without it. Share your examples in the comments!

Have you ever seen someone make a change, only to return to their old habits again? This is exactly when we use the well-known proverb:

عَادَتْ حَلِيمَةُ إِلَى عَادَتِهَا الْقَدِيمَةِ

“Halima has returned to her old habits.”

This expression is used when someone goes back to a behaviour or habit they had stopped. For example, imagine someone who used to be late all the time. They start arriving on time for a few weeks, but then begin showing up late again. You could say: “عَادَتْ حَلِيمَةُ إِلَى عَادَتِهَا الْقَدِيمَةِ!”

The proverb is often used in a humorous, teasing, or mildly critical way, depending on the situation. The expression is traditionally associated with a popular story about Halima, who was said to have returned to her former habit of stinginess. Although different versions of the story exist, the meaning of the proverb is widely understood throughout the Arab world.
