In this lesson we will learn about the definite article ال which corresponds to the word 'The' in the English Language (known as the definite article in grammar as it refers to a specific object.
Take particular note of the change in the vowel ending when a word is changed to it's definite form, i.e. the tanween (double vowel) which represents indefinite form e.g. a house has been changed to a single damma. It is hence also important to remember that a word can never take alif lam at the beginning and tanween at the same time (i.e. it can never be both indefinite and definite at the same time).
Remember, start reading from right to left. The first two sentence will illustrate the change in form from indefinite form (e.g. a house) to definite form (e.g. the house).
