Using Pronouns in Place of Explicit Nouns (Part Two)

Practical Exercises with Pronouns

● Here we will study the special rule of using a feminine singular pronoun with a non-rational plural:
○ النافذة مغلقة (feminine singular) -> هِيَ مُغْلَقَةٌ
○ النافذتان مغلقتان (feminine dual) -> هُمَا مُغْلَقَتَانِ
○ الأبواب مفتوحة (non-rational plural) -> هِيَ مَفْتُوحَةٌ (The noun described is a non-rational plural, so the pronoun is feminine singular.)
○ النوافذ مفتوحة (non-rational plural) -> هِيَ مَفْتُوحَةٌ
○ الكتب مفيدة (non-rational plural) -> هِيَ مُفِيدَةٌ
○ السرر جديدة (non-rational plural) -> هِيَ جَدِيدَةٌ
● Note: A non-rational plural, such as أَبْوَابٌ, كُتُبٌ, or سُرُرٌ, always takes the feminine singular pronoun هِيَ.
