Questions & Answers about هل ستبقون على الشاطئ معا؟
How is the future tense formed in ستبقون?
The letter سـ at the very beginning is a prefix that means 'will'. It attaches directly to the present tense verb تبقون (you all stay) to change it to the future tense: 'will you all stay'.
Why does the verb ستبقون end in ـون?
The ـون ending tells us this is the plural 'you' (for a group of males or a mixed group). If you were asking just one man, the verb would be ستبقى.
Is معا related to the word مع (with)?
Yes! مع means 'with'. By adding the double dash symbol at the end (an '-an' sound), it becomes معا. This ending often changes words into adverbs, turning 'with' into 'together'.
What is the purpose of هل at the beginning of the sentence?
هل is a question word used for Yes/No questions. While in English we change the word order to ask 'Will you...?', Arabic keeps the normal sentence order and simply puts هل at the beginning.
