أَتَدَرَّبُ بِإِشْرَافِ مُعَلِّمِي: أُعَاوِنُ زُمَلَائِي عَلَى إِجْرَاءِ مُقَابَلَةٍ صَحَفِيَّةٍ مَعَ رَجُلِ إِطْفَاءٍ حَوْلَ مُهِمَّاتِهِ الْيَوْمِيَّةِ وَبُطُولَاتِهِ فِي عَمَلِهِ.

I am training under my teacher's supervision: I am helping my classmates interview a firefighter about his daily duties and his heroism on the job.

قَوَاعِدُ اللُّغَةِ: الْمَصَادِرُ.

Grammar Rules: Verbal Nouns (Masadir).

أَقْرَأُ الْفِقْرَةَ الْآتِيَةَ قِرَاءَةً مُتَأَنِّيَةً:

Read the following paragraph carefully:

يَجِبُ عَلَى كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا مُفِيدًا، وَأَنْ يُدَرِّبَ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى إِتْقَانِ الْعَمَلِ الَّذِي يَقُومُ بِهِ بِصِدْقٍ وَإِخْلَاصٍ، وَمِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ وَالْمِهَنِ الَّتِي يَقُومُ بِهَا الْإِنْسَانُ الزِّرَاعَةُ وَالصِّنَاعَةُ وَالتِّجَارَةُ، وَتَعُودُ هَذِهِ الْمِهَنُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى مُجْتَمَعِهِ بِالنَّفْعِ لِهَذَا مِنْ وَاجِبِ الْمُؤَسَّسَاتِ الْحُكُومِيَّةِ تَقْدِيمُ الْمُسَاعَدَةِ فِي تَدْرِيبِ الْعُمَّالِ عَلَى الْمِهَنِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ، وَمُسَانَدَتُهُمْ فِي الِاسْتِفَادَةِ مِنَ الْإِنْجَازَاتِ الْعِلْمِيَّةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ تَطْوِيرِ عَمَلِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ اسْتِخْدَامَ الْوَسَائِلِ الْعِلْمِيَّةِ يَزِيدُ كِفَايَةَ الْعُمَّالِ وَيُوَفِّرُ الْوَقْتَ وَالْجَهْدَ.

Everyone should do useful work and train themselves to master their tasks with honesty and sincerity. Agriculture, industry, and commerce are among the professions people pursue, and they benefit both the individual and society. For this reason, government institutions have a duty to help train workers in various trades and support them in using scientific advancements to improve their work, as applying scientific methods increases efficiency while saving time and effort.

أَقْرَأُ الْجُمَلَ، ثُمَّ أُنَفِّذُ النَّشَاطَ:

Read the sentences, then complete the activity:

يَعْمَلُ الْإِنْسَانُ عَمَلًا مُفِيدًا.

A person does useful work.

يُدَرِّبُ الْإِنْسَانُ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى إِتْقَانِ الْعَمَلِ.

A person trains himself to master his work.

مِنْ وَاجِبِ الْمُؤَسَّسَاتِ تَقْدِيمُ الْمُسَاعَدَةِ.

It is the duty of institutions to provide assistance.

أُحَاطِظُ أَنَّ الْكَلِمَاتِ (عَمَلًا - إِتْقَان - تَقْدِيم) دَلَّتْ عَلَى أَسْمَاءٍ، أَذْكُرُ فِعْلَ كُلٍّ مِنْهَا.

I notice that the words (work, mastery, provision) function as nouns; I will state the verb for each.

أُحَاطِظُ أَنَّ الْفِعْلَ (عَمِلَ) الَّذِي أُخِذَ مِنَ الِاسْمِ (عَمَلًا) يَدُلُّ عَلَى حَدَثٍ وَقَعَ فِي الْمَاضِي، أَمُرْتَبِطُ الِاسْمُ (عَمَلًا) بِزَمَنٍ أَمْ مُجَرَّدٌ مِنَ الزَّمَنِ؟

I notice that the verb (worked), derived from the noun (work), indicates an event that occurred in the past. Is the noun (work) linked to a specific time, or is it timeless?

أُبَيِّنُ الْفَرْقَ بَيْنَ الِاسْمَيْنِ (إِتْقَان - تَقْدِيم) وَفِعْلَيْهِمَا مِنْ حَيْثُ الِارْتِبَاطِ بِالزَّمَنِ أَوِ التَّجَرُّدِ مِنْهُ.

I will explain the difference between the nouns (mastery, provision) and their corresponding verbs in terms of whether they are linked to time or are timeless.

أُسَمِّي الْأَسْمَاءَ مِنْ جِنْسِ الْفِعْلِ (الْمَصَادِرَ) وَهِيَ تَدُلُّ عَلَى حَدَثٍ مُجَرَّدٍ مِنَ الزَّمَنِ.

I will name the nouns that share the same root as a verb (verbal nouns/Masadir), which signify an event devoid of time.

الْقَاعِدَةُ: الْمَصْدَرُ: اسْمٌ مِنْ جِنْسِ الْفِعْلِ يَدُلُّ عَلَى حَدَثٍ مُجَرَّدٍ مِنَ الزَّمَنِ.

The Rule: A verbal noun (Masdar) is a noun derived from a verb that indicates an event devoid of time.
