مقدمة بالعربية: زمن المضارع المستمر للصف الثالث

السلام عليكم! هذا الدرس من كتاب المدرسة الإسلامية العراقية للصف الثالث يعلمكم كيف تصف الأحداث الجارية الآن، مثل "الكلب ينبح" أو "الأطفال يلعبون". الصيغة البسيطة: am/is/are + الفعل مع ing. سنشرح كل شيء بالتفصيل مع أمثلة إضافية، تمارين، ونصائح لتجنب الأخطاء الشائعة. مارسوا يوميًا لتحسين الإنجليزية إن شاء الله!

How to Form It: The Basics

Use "am / is / are" (present of "to be") + main verb + -ing. This matches your textbook exactly.

✅ Positive (إيجابي) – Textbook Examples + More

  • The dog is barking. (الكلب ينبح)
  • The kids are playing in the park. (الأطفال يلعبون في الحديقة)
  • The rain is falling. (المطر يسقط)
  • Bonus: I am eating lunch. (أنا آكل الغداء الآن)
  • We are praying Maghrib. (نحن نصلي المغرب)

Asking Questions? Easy Switch!

Put "is / are" first, then subject + verb-ing. It's that simple!

❓ Interrogative (استفهامي) – Practice These

  • Is the dog barking? (هل الكلب ينبح؟)
  • Are the kids playing in the park? (هل الأطفال يلعبون في الحديقة؟)
  • Is the rain falling? (هل المطر يسقط؟)
  • Extra: Are you studying English? (هل تدرس الإنجليزية؟)

Negatives: Just Add "Not"

After "is / are," add not to say what's not happening now.

❌ Negative (نفي) – Full List

  • The dog is not barking. (الكلب لا ينبح)
  • The kids are not playing in the park. (الأطفال لا يلعبون في الحديقة)
  • The rain is not falling. (المطر لا يسقط)
  • She is not reading the Quran. (هي لا تقرأ القرآن الآن)
  • They are not running. (هم لا يركضون)

شرح مفصل بالعربية: القواعد والأخطاء الشائعة

كيف تشكل الجملة: لـ I/He/She/It استخدم: is + ing. لـ You/We/They استخدم: are + ing. مثال: The baby is crying. (الطفل يبكي الآن).

أخطاء شائعة: لا تنسَ "ing"! ❌ خطأ: "He run"   ✅ صح: "He is running".

في الحياة اليومية العراقية:
"Mama is cooking mansaf." (الأم تطبخ المنسف الآن).
"The children are reciting Quran after Fajr." (الأطفال يتلون القرآن بعد الفجر).
