Example sentences

• فَإِذَا إِنْسَانٌ يُحَرِّكُ الْبَابَ،

  Then a man moved the door.

  الْبَابَ — the door. The al- makes this definite, 'the door', and its ending marks it as the thing moved - the object. Definiteness points to the known door.

• فَجَاءَ إِنْسَانٌ يُحَرِّكُ الْبَابَ،

  Then a man came, moving the door.

  الْبَابَ — the door. Carries the attached 'the', marking this as a specific known door. It is the thing the action lands on, the direct object of the moving verb, and its ending shifts to the object case to show it is being acted upon rather than doing the acting.
