أوّلاً كُنتُ في الفندق وبعد ذلك اِنْتَقَلْتُ إلى بيت الطُلّاب.

First, I was in the hotel and after that I moved to the Student house.

ما فَعَلْتُ أيّ شئ.

I did not do anything.

قَليلاً

A little

كَثيراً

A lot

نَشيط

Active

بعد التخرُّج سأعْمَل في الشَرق الأوْسَط.

After graduation, I will work in the Middle East.

سهل جِدّاً

Very easy

أُحبّ القِراءة.

I like reading.

Please note that when maSdar (القِراءة) comes on its own, it is always definite as shown in the above example, but if maSdar is in iDaafa situation, then it is indefinite (قِراءة) because al (ال) will be moved to the last noun (the last noun will take al) as shown below:

أُحبّ قِراءة الكُتُب.

I like reading books.

Notes:

In order to create a possessive noun clause (usually denoted in English with the preposition of or -‘s) one should use the idaafa construction.

To form the idaafa: The 1st noun will be in its regular case. (If it’s the subject, nominative/damma ending. If the object it should take the accusative/fatha ending. If genitive/after a preposition, the final vowel will be a kasra) The following nouns will take the genitive/kasra ending.

An idaafa construction can be composed of two or more nouns.
