Sentences of Question
هل vs أ - الهمزة
To know difference between these 2 for questioning.
We must know the difference between التصوّر and التصديق
التصوُّر : When the answer narrows down choices. - Picking up choices
التصديق : An answer of “yes” or “no”
أ can be used for both التصوّر and التصديق ,
whereas هل is used only for التصديق ( YES or NO type questions )
أ - الهمزة
التصوّر and التصديق occurs in the following cases :
1. مسندًا إليه
أأنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هَذا أم يُوْسُف
Did you do this or Yusuf ?
when you have التصوّر question ( Picking up choices ) then what you put first after أ is what the question is about ( musnad Ilayh )
2. أم مسندًا
أنتَ راغِبٌ - you are inclined.
راغِبٌ - usually comes with عن and في ( Some فعل are married to some حرف )
When there is عن with راغِبٌ - It means “You are inclined not to do something”
أأنتَ راغِبٌ غَن الصَّلَوةِ - “Are you inclined away from the prayer”
أأنتَ راغِبٌ في الصَّلوةِ - “Are you inclined towards prayer”
أأنتَ راغِبٌ - here what is musnad and musnad Ilayh ?
أنتَ is musnad Ilayh ( What you are talking about ) and راغِبٌ is musnad ( what are you saying about them )
أراغِبٌ انت عن الأمر أم راغب فيه - Here أنتَ is mubtada and راغِبٌ is خبر, It may look like mubtada is mua’khar and khabar in muqaddam but it is not . This is a question of التصوّر - the thing you are doing taswwur of ( here it is musnad) , should be right after أ ( In التصوّر Question concept of muqaddam, mua’khar doesn’t apply )
3. أم مفعولا
taswwur of مفعول ( here فيد )
أإيَّايَ تَقْصِدُ أم سَعِيْدًا - “Do you mean me or Saeed?”
4. أم حَالًا

Haal could be of act, doer or detail

5. أم ظرف
Ism of Time and place
أيَومَ الخَمِيْسِ قَدَمْتَ أم يَوْمَ الجُمْعة - “Did you arrive on Thursday or Friday?”

Sometimes you don’t have to mention مُعادل
