وَالْخَيْرِ فَتَرْفَعُ الأَوَّلَ وَيُسَمَّى أَسْمَهَا ، وَتَنصِبُ الثَّانِيَ وَيُسَمَّى خَبَرَهَا.

And it raises the first and it is called its noun, and it sets the second and it is called its predicate.

مَا زَالَ ، وَمَا بَرِحَ ، وَمَا انْفَكَّ ، وَمَا فَتِئَ ، تُفِيدُ اسْتِمْرَارَ اتِّصَافِ اسْمِهَا بِخَبَرِهَا ، وَ « مَا دَامَ » تَدُلُّ عَلَى بَيَانِ مُدَّةٍ مَا قَبْلَهَا.

(94) Ma zala, ma bariha, ma infakka, and ma fati'a indicate the continuity of the attribution of their noun to their predicate, and 'ma dama' indicates the clarification of the duration of what precedes it.

يَجِبُ أَنْ تُسْبَقَ أَفْعَالُ الِاسْتِمْرَارِ بِأَدَاةِ نَفْيٍ وَأَنْ تُسْبَقَ دَامَ بِمَا الدَّالَّةِ عَلَى الزَّمَانِ.

(95) It is necessary that the verbs of continuity be preceded by a negation tool, and that 'dama' be preceded by 'ma' which indicates time.
