Questions & Answers about يجب أن نتأكد من توفر الإنترنت.
Why is the verb for 'must' (يجب) in the 'he' form instead of the 'we' form?
The verb يجب (it is necessary) is fixed in the third-person masculine singular when used with أن (that) and a following verb. You do not conjugate it for 'we'; instead, the 'we' is shown by conjugating the second verb, which is why we use نتأكد (we make sure).
Why is the preposition من used after نتأكد?
The Form V verb تأكد (to make sure or become certain) requires the preposition من to express what you are making sure of. Arabic verbs often have strict preposition pairings, and you cannot directly attach an object to this verb without من.
What kind of word is توفر, and how does it translate to 'availability'?
توفر (tawaffur) is the verbal noun (masdar) of the Form V verb توفر (to be abundant or available). It comes from the root و-ف-ر, which relates to abundance or saving. As a noun in this sentence, it functions as 'the being available' or 'the availability'.
Why does the word توفر lack the definite article (ال) if it translates to 'the availability'?
It is the first part of an Idafa (possessive construction) joined with الإنترنت (the internet). In an Idafa, the first word never takes the definite article, but it is treated as grammatically definite because the second word has it.
