Example sentences

• وَيَنْسَى مَا قَدْ كَانَ مِمَّا تَتَزَلْزَلُ الأَرْضُ لِبَعْضِهِ

  And he forgets what had been, even when the earth trembles because of part of it!

  الأَرْضُ — the earth. A definite noun acting as the subject of the trembling verb, so it carries the plain subject ending. It is what does the quaking. Its placement after the verb is standard Arabic order; the case ending, not the position, is what marks it as the doer.
