نَسْتَنْتِجُ أَنَّ: إِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْحُرُوفُ (الْوَاوُ - الْبَاءُ - الْكَافُ - الْفَاءُ) عَلَى الْأَسْمَاءِ الْمَبْدُوءَةِ بِأَلِفِ التَّعْرِيفِ الشَّمْسِيَّةِ وَالْقَمَرِيَّةِ، فَلَا يَحْدُثُ أَيُّ تَغْيِيرٍ فِي كِتَابَتِهِمَا، وَيُضَافُ الْحَرْفُ مُبَاشَرَةً إِلَى الْكَلِمَةِ فَنَقُولُ مَثَلًا فِي كَلِمَةِ: «الشَّمْسُ» وَالشَّمْسُ، بِالشَّمْسِ، كَالشَّمْسِ، فَالشَّمْسُ.

We conclude that: if the letters (waw, ba, kaf, fa) are prefixed to nouns starting with the solar or lunar definite article 'al', no change occurs in their spelling, and the letter is added directly to the word; for example, we say for the word 'al-shams' (the sun): wa-al-shams (and the sun), bi-al-shams (with the sun), ka-al-shams (like the sun), fa-al-shams (so the sun).

وَنَقُولُ فِي كَلِمَةِ الْقَمَرِ: وَالْقَمَرُ، بِالْقَمَرِ، كَالْقَمَرِ، فَالْقَمَرُ.

And we say for the word 'al-qamar' (the moon): wa-al-qamar (and the moon), bi-al-qamar (with the moon), ka-al-qamar (like the moon), fa-al-qamar (so the moon).

اقْرَأِ الْجُمَلَ التَّالِيَةَ، ثُمَّ امْلَأِ الْفَرَاغَاتِ بِالْكَلِمَاتِ الْمُنَاسِبَةِ لَهَا: (الْأَلْوَانُ - الرِّيَاضَةُ - النُّجُومُ - الْأَسْوَاقُ)
