Grammatical Differences Between Arabic And English

All languages differ from one another, and they can differ in many ways, they may use different sounds, they make words in different ways, and they may put words together to form a sentence in different ways. Each language has a unique system and different morphological pattern to follow. Arabic and English are good examples to describe the grammatical differences between languages because they are completely different from each other. Arabic, for example, follows a specific morphological pattern that is totally different from the English morphological pattern or system, as an illustration, every word in Arabic language should follow a morphological pattern. But in English, there is no such thing.

The process of studying how words are arranged

And if any of the roots were taken, the word will lose its meaning. We can add extra letters in the beginning, middle or end of the word. But root words should always be in the same order, and as long as the root letters are still there the word will have a meaning. These roots are put into “pattern”; which morph the meaning of the root to create variety of related words.

Patterns or “أوزان” play a major part in the meaning of any word. Each root must follow a specific and different pattern. And patterns form the meaning of the root and specify it.

For instance: جَـمِـيـلْ، لَـطـِيـفْ، كَـبـِيرْ، صَـغِيـرْ, all these four adjective words have the same pattern, the فَـعِـيـلْ pattern, but they use different sets of letters to form this pattern.

Another example ;( مَطْـلُـوبْ، مَـكْـتُـوب) (طَـالِـبْ، كَـاتِـبْ), the first two words ، مَطْـلُـوبْ مَـكْـتُـوب; have the pattern مَـفْـعُولْ , and the second two words طَـالِـبْ، كَـاتِـبْ; have the pattern فَـاعِـلْ. Although these words have different letters and roots but they have the same
