What Questions 7 to 13 Revise
Page 62 continues the revision section with questions 7 to 13 on Lessons 3, 5, 7, 8. Each topic is explained below in our own words, with an example and a link back to the lesson. Use the page as a quiz: ask the question, let your child answer, then check.
How the short vowels are said
Fathah, Kasrah and Dammah are short. Each is said cleanly in an Arabic accent: no stretching (بَ is not “baa”) and no sudden jerk at the end. Practise with any row of the Harakaat chart. Back to Lesson 3 (page 15).
Tanween
Two Fathahs, two Kasrahs or two Dammahs (بًا بٍ بٌ) are called Tanween. The reason it sounds like “an”, “in”, “un” is that Tanween is really a Noon Saakinah at the end of a word, written as a doubled vowel instead of a letter. Back to Lesson 5 (page 20).
The Letters of Maddah
There are three: Alif, Waw and Ya. Alif is a Letter of Maddah when the letter before it has a Fathah; Waw Saakinah when the letter before has a Dammah; Ya Saakinah when the letter before has a Kasrah: بَا بُوْ بِیْ. Each is stretched for one Alif, about two counts. Back to Lesson 7 (page 23).
The Khari (vertical) Harakaat
Khara Zabar, Khari Zer and Ulta Pesh (تٰ تٖ تٗ) stand in place of a Letter of Maddah, so they are stretched in exactly the same way: one Alif, about two counts. Short and long side by side: تَ / تٰ. Back to Lesson 8 (page 25).
