غَدtomorrow

Example sentences

• ولا تؤخر عمل اليوم إلى الغد، فلعل الغد لا يأتيك

  And do not delay today's work until tomorrow, for perhaps tomorrow will not come to you.

  الْغَدِ — the tomorrow. The object of 'until', standing in the possessive case, with 'the' marking it as the known 'tomorrow'. This noun has an unusual shape because its root ends in a weak letter, so its ending looks different from a regular noun.

• ولا تؤخر عمل اليوم إلى الغد، فلعل الغد لا يأتيك

  And do not delay today's work until tomorrow, for perhaps tomorrow will not come to you.

  الْغَدَ — the tomorrow. This is the subject of the 'perhaps' clause but it stands in the object case because that hope-particle governs it that way. With 'the' it points to the same known 'tomorrow', now framed as something whose arrival is uncertain.
