Intransitive Verb (‫)فعل الزم‬: A verb that does not need an object.

(8) In a sentence, how can an active verb be converted to a passive one and vice versa?

Answer:

Active to Passive: The object becomes the subject, and the verb changes its pattern:

Passive to Active: Identify the implied doer and return the verb to its active form.

Example: ‫شكر الناسُ الرج َل‬


َ ُ
→ ‫شك َِر الرج ُل‬

Answer:
Because an intransitive verb has no object, there’s nothing to become the new subject in the
passive form.

(10) Can the passive tense ever be formed from an intransitive verb?

Answer:
No, it is not possible because there's no object to turn into the subject.

(11) If the doer succeeds the verb in a sentence, what effect does the gender and number of the
doer have on the verb?

Answer:
The verb remains in singular masculine form, even if the doer is feminine or plural:

ُ
Example: ‫الفتيات‬ ‫( جا َء‬The girls came).

---

(12) If the doer precedes the verb in a sentence, what changes occur in the verb due to the
differences in the doer?

Answer:
The verb must match the doer in gender and number:

Example: ‫جئن‬ ُ
َ ‫الفتيات‬ (The girls came).
