● Because we have studied only nouns so far, we will learn to make sentences by combining nouns.
● A nominal sentence has two basic parts:
1. subject (mubtadaʾ): the noun that begins the sentence and about which something is stated.
2. predicate (khabar): what is stated about the subject.

○ Zayd is the subject because the sentence begins with him.
○ is righteous is the predicate because it tells us something about Zayd.
