Questions & Answers about المشرفون قادمون من الموقع.
Why is قادمون used here instead of a regular verb?
قادمون is an active participle, which often translates to an English word ending in '-ing'. In Arabic, active participles of verbs of motion (like coming, going, or returning) are very commonly used instead of regular present tense verbs to show that an action is happening right now.
Why do both المشرفون and قادمون end in ـون?
This is a nominal sentence (a sentence starting with a noun). المشرفون is the subject, and قادمون is the predicate that gives us information about it. In Arabic, the predicate must match the subject in gender and number. Since the subject is a masculine plural in the nominative case, the predicate also takes the regular masculine plural nominative ending ـون.
Since there is no verb here, how do we get the meaning 'are'?
Arabic does not use a word for 'to be' in the present tense. Simply placing the definite subject المشرفون (the supervisors) before the indefinite predicate قادمون (coming) naturally creates the meaning 'The supervisors are coming'.
How is the word الموقع (the site) formed?
It is built using the root و-ق-ع, which relates to being located or falling. By putting this root into the مَفْعِل pattern, Arabic creates a 'noun of place'. This pattern is frequently used to describe the location where an action happens, giving us the word for a site or location.
