The document discusses the sentence in Arabic and the two types of sentences: nominal and verbal. A nominal sentence begins with a noun and has two parts, a subject (al-mubtada) and a predicate (al-khabar) which both take the nominative case. The subject is the noun at the beginning of the sentence and the predicate provides a description of the subject. Examples of nominal sentences are provided to demonstrate these concepts.

sentence or the thing spoken
