    موضوع الضمائر أيضا موضوع مهم ورغم بساطته يخطئ الكثيرون في اختيار الضمير المناسب
    من يظنه موضوع بسيط أو ساذج لبساطته هو واهم جدا , وبالنسبة لي أعطيه أهمية ..
    دعوني أشرح شيئا وأضع بعض الأمثلة وأناقشها :
    Who or whom \ pronouns
    Choose as chairman (whoever, whomever) you like
    = object to the verb like. It also can be an object to the verb "choose" once we choose " him" Not choose He
    ?can I get to do this for me
    (Who, Whom)

    object to the verb get " causative"
    This is the man (who, whom) we were talking about
    object to the preposition ' about'

    And here are more examples with explanation

    Rule : If you can replace the word with he or she or another subject pronoun, use who. If you can replace it with him or her (or another object pronoun), use whom.
    Who or whom
    1. The woman (who, whom) was recently elected to the board of directors has been with the company for some years.
    who—subject of the clause who was elected
    2. The accountant (who, whom) we understand did not wish to be interviewed has been asked to appear at the trial.
    who—subject of the clause who did not wish to be interviewed. The we understand is parenthetical
    3. (Who, Whom) do you suppose will buy this car?
    Who—subject of the clause Who will buy this car
    4. (Who, Whom) do you suppose the company will choose?
    Whom—object of the verb will choose. The subject of the clause is company.
    5. Let me speak to (whoever, whomever) is waiting for the general.
    whoever—subject of the clause is waiting for the general
    6. Let me speak to (whoever, whomever) the general hopes to convince to join his campaign.
    whomever—object of the verb convince
    7. (Whoever, Whomever) I think deserves the prize always seems to lose. Whoever—subject of the clause deserves the prize
    8. They will give the job to (whoever, whomever) they decide is most likely to support their position.
    whoever—subject of the clause is most likely to support their position
    9. They will give the job to (whoever, whomever) they decide they can agree with about prices.
    whomever—object of the preposition with
    10. Do you really care about (who, whom) you choose?
    whom—object of the verb choose

      Correct the error of the sentences
      3 This is the computer what broke yesterday.
      This Is the computer that was broken yesterday.
      4 The girl was carried by the woman who had broken her leg.
      ( who had broken her leg = misplaced modifier – the girl is who her leg was broken not the woman )
      The girl who had broken her leg was carried by the woman

      جملة 3 استخدام what = غلط وكذلك الفعل المفروض يكون passive وليس active الكومبيوتر لا يكسر نفسه من تلقاء ذاته بل بسبب فاعل
      جملة 4 فيها misplaced modifier ليس المرأة رجلها مكسورة بل البنت
      تم نقل البنت ذات الرجل المكسورة ( البنت التي كسرت ساقها ) من قبل المرأة
      عمدا أو غير عمد لا ندري ؟ وهنا تساؤل , لكن وفق تركيب الجمل الإنجليزية = مستخدمة

      طبعا موجود هكذا نمط جمل في الإنجليزية = مقبول ولكن ارتأيت الأفضل في التعديل الأخير

      The girl who had broken her leg was carried by the woman. = correct English sentence


      تصحيح أفضل :
      The girl whose leg was broken was carried by the woman.
      The girl whose leg had been broken was carried by the woman.

        موضوع مهم جدا موضوع الضمائر هل هو ضمير فاعل أم مفعول سنلاحظ من خلال الشرح

        الموضوع لطلبة الدراسات المتقدمة أو من هم على كفاءة عالية في اللغة

        ملاحظة مهمة جدا : التعابير do you think \ do you believe \ do you know لا تؤثر على الضمير وتجعله مفعول بل تعتبر مجرد parenthetical ,ولو أتى الضمير بصيغة ضمير مفعول, التعابير أعلاه لم تجعله مفعول , بل هناك في سياق الجملة ما يجعله كذلك
        وهنا تطبيق أبين لكم الطريقة كيف :
        In choosing who or whom, ignore parenthetical expressions such as I hope, we think, I believe, they said, and you know.
        Edward is the candidate (who/whom) we believe is best.
        Isolate: ____ we believe is best
        Ignore: ___ [we believe] is best
        Substitute: he is best
        Equate: who is best
        Complete: Edward is the candidate who we believe is best.

        who — whoever
        1. Subject 2. Predicate nominative
        whom — whomever
        1. Direct object 2. Indirect object 3. Object of a preposition
        Examples:
        Who is the candidate of your party? "- (Who is the subject of the sentence and is, therefore, in the subjective case.)
        To whom much is given, much is required. (Whom is an object of a preposition and is, therefore, in the objective case.)
        The radio station gave free tickets to whoever called first. (Whoever is the subject of the clause whoever called first and is, therefore, in the subjective case, even though it follows a preposition and thus appears to require the objective case. However, the whole clause, not merely the pronoun, is the object of the preposition to. The pronoun must maintain the proper form to serve its function within the clause.)
        Fill in the blanks in the sentences below with one of the following words and explain the use of the word chosen.
        1. who 2. whoever 3. whom 4. whomever
        If the pronoun is in a dependent clause, underline the clause and identify it as a noun, adjective, or adverb clause.
        Example: The candidate for whom the rally was held is a man of good character.
        whom — object of the preposition "for" in an adjective clause
        1. Who won the World Series in 1989? = subject of the sentence
        2. To whom was credit given for rescheduling the game?
        = object of the preposition "to"
        3. The commissioner of baseball was who at that time?
        = predicate nominative
        4. Tickets are often resold to whoever offers the best price.
        = subject of a noun clause (clause used as object of the preposition "to")
        5. The starting pitchers are the players whom the media gives the most publicity.
        = indirect object in an adjective clause (clause modifies "players") 6. The pinch-hitters arewhomever the coaches choose.
        = direct object in a noun clause (clause used as predicate nominative of sentence)
        7. Do you know who the next batter will be?
        = predicate nominative in a noun clause (clause is the direct object of "do know")
        8. Rentals for concession stands are leased to whomever the business managers determine to be the best qualified.
        = subject of the infinitive phrase "whomever to be best qualified" (The infinitive phrase is the direct object of "determine," which is the verb in the noun clause "the business managers determine whomever to be the best qualified." The noun clause is the object of the preposition "to.")
        Remind the student that the subjects of infinitives are in the objective case.
        9. Prizes should be given to whoever eats the most popcorn.
        = subject of noun clause used as object of the preposition "to"
        10. The home team allows whoever the opponent is a small percentage of the tickets for the game.

          أعود للموضوع أعلاه وأشرح جملتين بشكل مفصل لأنه بعض الطلاب ادمغتهم قاصرة عن الاستيعاب
          ولأقولها بكل وضوح بالعراقية ( عندما يكون موقع الضمير في الجملة الثانوية subordinate clause
          مالنا شغل بالجملة الرئيسة
          1. Choose whomever / whoever you prefer.
          = object of the verb prefer
          اختر من تفضله ( مفعول للفعل يُفضل ) وليس للفعل يختار
          Two clauses ( main clause + subordinate clause)
          We have no issues with the main clause. We concentrate on the subordinate clause.
          التركيز على الجملة الثانوية ( التابعة ) وليس على الجملة الرئيسة
          = you prefer ( whom) = him
          Main clause ------subordinate clause
          2. Choose whoever / whomever you think will win.
          اختر من تظنه سيربح ( هو يربح = فاعل ) أنت تظنه لا تجعله يصبح مفعول مطلقا
          = subject to the verb ( win) = who will win
          = he or she will win
          Verbs like think, believe don't affect on the result

            حالات استخدام الهايفن hyphen = ( شارحة ) مع الصفات المركبة قبل الأسماء
            توجد سبعة حالات معتمدة في أغلب المصادر مع وجود اختلافات بسيطة بين الأميركية والبريطانية لا يسعني المجال لذكرها ومع ذلك لا تعد ذات أهمية
            forming compound adjectives
            1- اسم + اسم + ( الاسم المركزي noun head ) الأسماء في هذه الحالة تعمل عمل صفات كما في المثال :
            video- game industry
            : صناعة ألعاب الفيديو ( تعتبر صفات قبل الأسم المحوري industry
            2- (صفة + اسم) + اسم : High -performance communication
            ملاحظة مهمة : لا توضع hyphen قبل الأسم المحوري ( بين آخر صفة والأسم المحوري )
            3- (اسم + اسم مفعول )+ اسم : computer -related terms
            4- ( اسم + اسم فاعل ) + اسم : filed - emitting materials
            5- ( ظرف + اسم مفعول ) + اسم : well-established transportation فيها استثناء مشروح
            6- ( عدد + وحدة ) + اسم : مثلا 200 - ( مع الرقم تتغير الكتابة بسبب لغة الموقع كونها بالعربي )
            pixel version
            7- عبارة + اسم : state -of- the-art green manufacturing plants
            There are seven forms of compound adjectives that require hyphenation
            All the combinations of compound modifiers listed below act as adjectives before a noun, and it is the hyphen that makes this relationship clear and helps to
            avoid ambiguity
            1

            noun + noun) + noun)
            Note how the same compound noun video games is not hyphenated when it occurs alone, but requires a hyphen when it functions as an adjective before
            another noun:

            image.png
            2
            adjective + noun \ + noun \
            In this example, the communication networks are not high, but rather the performance is high. In order to show that high modifies performance and not the head noun, networks, a hyphen is necessary
            image.png
            3
            noun + past participle \ + noun \

            This use of the past participle in modifying a noun allows relative clauses to be compressed and placed before the noun. This ordering also places emphasis on the important word terms, rather than computers which would have resulted if the writer had used the relative clause. However, this strategy cannot be used with all verbs and could, if overused, violate the requirements of "light" before "heavy" elements
            image.png
            4
            noun + present participle\ + noun \
            Similar to modification using a past participle, using the present participle to modify a noun allows relative clauses to be compressed and moved to a position before the noun. By doing this, the writer is able to emphasise materials rather than fields

            image.png
            In the example above, note how the noun fields, which is expressed in the plural (monikko) form in the relative clauses, becomes singular (yksikkö) field when it precedes and modifies the noun materials .​
            5
            adverb + past participle \ + noun \
            Once again, a past participle allows the writer to shift elements around in the noun phrase, thus avoiding the use of the more obvious relative clause, which would have meant ending the sentence with a verb.
            image.png
            The only exception to this rule occurs with or adverb-adjective compound modifiers. Hyphens are generally not used in adverb-adjective compound modifiers, when the adverb ends in -ly because no such confusion is likely to occur.
            Pre-modification………….post-modification
            A quickly moving manage ……A vehicle that moves quickly
            ​6
            Number + unit ) + noun )
            Use a hyphen when a number-unit compound comes before a noun, but not when it follows the noun
            image.png
            Note that whereas the units in the number-unit expression would normally be plural when standing alone, the units must become singular and hyphenated when placed before a noun.​
            Pre-modification………….post-modification
            A four-day week\ a week that lasts only four days
            A three-step sequence \ a sequence that consists of 3 steps
            ​7
            Phrase + noun
            Phrases that pre-modify the noun are typically hyphenated to clarify their function as adjectives.

              Finite and Non-Finite Verbs
              Participle
              A participle is a non-finite verb. It is also called a 'verbal adjective', which means that it has characteristics of both verbs and adjectives. A participle most often ends in '-ing' or '-ed'. There are three types of participles
              1. Present participle 2. Past participle 3. Perfect participle
              Present Participle
              The present participle is the 'ing' form of a verb, used as a modifier. e.g. This is an interesting novel
              Uses of Present Participle • As adjective e.g.
              1. It was a tiring journey. 2. I read an interesting novel.
              انها رحلة متعبة -- قرأت رواية ممتعة
              The verbs of perception; 'see, hear, feel, smell', and the verbs—'listen' (to), 'notice' and 'watch' can be followed by 'object + present participle'. e.g.
              I see her passing through the street daily.
              أراها في كل يوم ( بشكل يومي) تعبر الشارع = أرى جزء من لحظة عبورها
              ربما أراقبها في لحظة معينة لكن لو كان مصدر = أرى كل الفعالية
              ( the infinitive can also be used but slight difference in meaning)
              I can hear the clock striking.
              If one action is immediately followed by another, done by the same subject, the first action can also be denoted by a present participle.
              e.g. He opened the cupboard. He took out a file.
              Opening the book, he took out a file.
              Past Participle
              Most of the Past participles end in -ed, -en, -d, -t, or -n, as in the words: walked, eaten, saved, dealt and seen
              Uses of Past Participle : As adjective e.g.
              1. This is a fried fish. (not frying) the fish can't make sense of frying or brings to someone the action of frying.
              هنا صفة ( اسم مفعول ) ليس فيها تأثير ( سمك مقلي ) هذا سمك مقلي
              2. I need a boiled egg. أريد بيضا مسلوقا
              To form perfect tense e.g.
              Ram has arrived. They have completed the work.
              In passive structures e.g.
              This is the book written by me.
              Learn the lessons taught by her.
              Perfect Participle
              Perfect Participle is made by combining 'having' and past participle. e.g.
              Having eaten, Having broken etc.
              Uses of Perfect Participle
              The perfect participle is used when there is an interval of time between the two actions.
              Having failed thrice, she didn't want to apply again.
              We use this form when an action was happened earlier than the second and we want to emphasize that action happened first.
              بما أنها فشلت ثلاث مرات, لا تود التقديم مرة ثانية ( ربما قدمت أوراق – طلب ) وفشلت في الاختبار
              ( نلاحظ استخدام هذا النمط من اسم المفعول التام : حدثين أحدهما انتهى بالتمام والكمال قبل الآخر = نفس طريقة الماضي التام )
              Having passed his M.A, he enrolled for Ph.D.
              Perfect participle is also used when the first action covered a period of time. e.g.
              Having been a boxer for six years, he knew where to punch
              Formation of adjectives
              Adjectives with -ed and -ing endings
              1. Adjectives that end with '-ed' describe emotions; they tell us how people feel about something.
              I was very bored with the film. I almost fell asleep.
              2. Adjectives that end '-ing' describe the thing that causes the emotion.
              I found the film so boring that I almost fell asleep.
              Read the sentences below.
              Here are difference between the two types of adjectives: adjectives ending in -ed and -ing.
              a. I was shocked. How shocking the accident was last night!
              b. They were frightened. The roller-coaster ride was frightening!
              c. Father was really annoyed. How annoying your behaviour was! d. The confusing street signs in the city confused us.
              e. I am bored reading these grammar rules all the time.
              f. It is so boring. • I am tired now.
              g. The long journey by train was tiring.
              h. Public toilets are usually disgusting.
              i. I am disgusted by the smell in some of them.
              j. Your speech was very inspiring.
              k. Youngsters are inspired by it. ( past participle / passive)

                  موضوع ترتيب الصفات في اللغة الإنجليزية
                  الموضوع رغم بساطته يخطئ فيه الكثيرون حتى بين المستويات العليا
                  الصعوبة تكمن بعض الصفات تندرج تحت ما نسميه physical quality مثل ( thin , rough, untidy) هذه البعض يتوهم بها ويضعها ضمن تسلسل صفات الشكل shape تابع الأمثلة مع الشرح :

                  القاعدة الصحيحة 1- opinion مثلا beautiful / smart ,و 2- الحجم size مثلا big / large / small و 3 الشكل shape مثلا round \ flat \ straight l مربع , دائري , حلقي مستطيل والخ
                  و 4 العمر شاب , كبير old , young , new و 5 صفات اللون : أحمر , أزرق , أبيض والخ red , blue , white , brown و 6 صفات المنشأ origin ألماني , عراقي , مصري Egyptian , German, Swiss والخ و 7 صفات المادة material من أي شيء مصنوع ( خشبي , حديدي , ورقي والخ ) و 8 النوعية : مثلا general-purpose, four-sided, U-shaped, electric, two-sided, pick-up و 9 صفات الغرض ( لماذا يستخدم أو ما مجال استخدام ذلك الشيء مثلا : cooking , sports , education , welding والخ
                  تبقى الصفات التي ذكرتها في البداية ( هي قليلة على الأغلب ) مجموعة physical quality أو تسمية أخرى condition / state هذه تضعها بين الحجم والشكل
                  ادرجت امثلة كثيرة تحت مع شرح


                  Which Sentence is Correct?
                  (A) The Smart Small Greek Computer
                  = opinion --- size --- origin = correct
                  (B) The Large Brown Skinny Tree X
                  (C) The Young Chinese Tall Student X
                  (D) The Pink Tall Plastic Elephant X
                  الجواب :
                  خيار b ترتيب الصفات ليس صحيح المفروض Skinny تكون قبل large في بعض المصادر لكونهم يعتبرونها physical quality يضعونها قبل صفة اللون ( بين الحجم واللون ) وهو الأصوب
                  خيار c أيضا غلط الصفة tall موقعها الصحيح قبل young
                  خيار d أيضا غلط , الصفة tall يجب أن تكون قبل صفة اللون pink

                  Opinion Size Shape Age Color Nationality/Origin Material Purpose
                  X ----- big----round X --- X ---- X ------- gold --- X
                  a round/gold/big brooch
                  answer =
                  A big round gold brooch​​
                  adjectives order rule
                  1
                  opinion : unusual, lovely , beautiful

                    أدب \ تعابير
                    كنت أقرأ أحد كتب الريحاني فوجدت ما يناسب التعابير باللغة الإنجليزية
                    الفيلسوف الفصيح eloquent philosopher :
                    الأمنية القصوى the utmost hope
                    من غير who other than :
                    بيد أنني I, however
                    إذ ذاك then , at that time
                    افسدت على ... عمله thwarted its action :
                    فبت أرعى النجوم so I spent the night watching the stars:
                    (lit. shepherding the stars)
                    كما يقول الشاعر As the poet says :
                    يا معلمي O my master :
                    كل ما به all his woes, lit : all that is in him :
                    فهلا تشبهت so why have I not likened myself :
                    كيفية استخدام مفردة : هلا
                    لا استطيع وضعها بين القوسين لأنه حالما أضعها تقفز إلى مكان آخر

                    The particle( ) when followed by an imperfect verb signifies an urging for an action, and when followed by a perfect verb, as here, signifies a remonstrance for the neglect of an action.
                    فرفعت يد الدائن and dispossessed the creditor, lit. “raised the hand of the creditor
                    بمريم العذراء by the Virgin Mary :
                    بحياة الله (التعبير لا يستخدم من قبل المسلمين )by the life of God :
                    وحق جميع القديسيين By the truth of all saints :
                    فصحت بهما and I cried out to them

                      الصفات واستخدام المشدد ( المشدد المقصود به الظرف الذي يسبق الصفة أو نسميه modifier أو intensifier = مشدد )
                      ومعلوم أنه توجد ظروف قوية مثل very , extremely وأخرى أقل شدة أو حدة


                      الصفات نوعين في اللغة الإنجليزية
                      1- ( gradable )
                      هذه الصفات ممكن نضيف إلى نهاياتها er / est مع هذه ممكن نسبقها بظروف قوية مثل : very , extremely , rather والخ
                      2- ( non-gradable or extreme adjectives )
                      هذه لا يمكن إضافة er / est الى نهاياتها

                      فطالما المجموعة الثانية صفات قوية كما مشار له في أعلاه
                      فمن باب أولى أن لا تسبق بمشددات قوية مثل very بل نستخدم مشددات أضعف مثل absolutely , totally etc
                      #ملاحظة بعض المشددات يمكن استخدامها قبل كلا النوعين
                      أسئلة مع حلول
                      Cross out any incorrect or unlikely alternatives.
                      1 Her advice was fairly/really invaluable.
                      2 Our neighbours are really / fairly friendly.
                      3 I thought his performance as Hamlet was fairly/ really tremendous.

                      very / very much
                      Very is used with adjectives, past participles used as adjectives, and adverbs:
                      I am very hungry.
                      I was very pleased to get your letter.
                      You played very well.
                      But notice this use:
                      I’m very much afraid that your son may be involved in the crime.
                      Very is not used with past participles that have a passive meaning. Much, very much or greatly (formal) are usually used instead:
                      Your help was very much appreciated.
                      He was much loved by everyone.
                      She was greatly admired.
                      Very is used to emphasize superlative adjectives:
                      my very best work
                      the very youngest children.
                      However, with comparative adjectives much, very much, a lot, etc. are used:
                      Your work is very much better.
                      much younger children
                      Very is not used with adjectives and adverbs that already have an extreme meaning. You are more likely to use an adverb such as absolutely, completely, etc:
                      She was absolutely furious.
                      I’m completely exhausted.
                      You played really brilliantly.
                      Very is not used with verbs. Use very much instead:
                      We enjoyed staying with you very much.
