Arabic to English examples

Real sentences with translations and short grammar notes. Read them out loud and copy the rhythm of natural English.

Example 1

beginner

أريد أن أتعلم الإنجليزية.

I want to learn English.

In Arabic the verb 'uriidu' (want) can appear before the subject. English always requires Subject-Verb-Object order without exception.

Example 2

intermediate

أنا أدرس الإنجليزية منذ سنتين.

I have been studying English for two years.

Arabic has a special dual form for 'snatain' meaning two years. English simply uses the regular plural 'years' with the number two.

Example 3

beginner

هل يمكنك مساعدتي من فضلك؟

Can you help me please?

Arabic uses the question particle 'hal' at the start of yes-no questions. English instead moves the auxiliary verb to the front of the sentence.

Example 4

advanced

لو كنت درست أكثر لنجحت.

If I had studied more, I would have passed.

Arabic uses 'law' to introduce past unreal conditions — similar in meaning to the English third conditional but quite different in structure.

Example 5

beginner

الإنجليزية لغة مهمة جداً.

English is a very important language.

Arabic often drops the verb 'to be' in present tense sentences. English always requires it — you can never say 'English very important language' in correct English.
