Easy Arabic Grammar

What is Arabic 'grammar'?
Arabic 'grammar' will mean different things to different people. To learners of Arabic as a foreign language it might mean the fundamentals of the language: whether there are genders, whether the noun or the adjective comes first, how the verb changes in the past and future, etc. To more advanced Arabists and scholars it might earner the higher-level subtleties of Modern Standard or Classical Arabic. To native speakers, it usually conjures up a subject studied at school, often hazily remembered lessons analyzing sentences with a view to being able to spell and pronounce formal Arabic correctly. What this book means by 'grammar' is a progressive knowledge of the structure of Arabic from the basic building blocks to some, but by no means all, of the more subtle nuances of Modern Standard Arabic.
