Are You Confused in Using Pronouns?

How to use Pronouns in Arabic

In this article, We are gonna learn the types of pronoun in Arabic in detail If Allah Wills!

Remember that like all nouns and words, pronouns also fall under different cases like Nominative, Accusative & Genetive but they don't get the respective cases' parsing/ vowel signs as we all know that pronouns are always indeclinable. Sometimes, the pronouns are mentioned and sometimes, omitted or hidden.

There are two types of pronoun in Arabic

1) Attached/ Linked Pronoun and
2) Detached/ Separate Pronoun.

Attached Pronouns are as follows:
