Questions & Answers about الحساسية ممكن تحصل مع المضاد الحيوي.

Why is الحساسية written with الـ? In English we often just say allergy without the.

In Arabic, especially in general medical statements, الـ can be used more broadly than English the.

So الحساسية here does not necessarily mean one specific allergy already mentioned. It can mean something like:

• allergic reaction
• allergy
• the allergy reaction / allergy in general

This is very natural in Arabic. You could also hear حساسية without الـ in some contexts, but الحساسية ممكن تحصل... sounds normal and idiomatic.

Why is the verb تحصل and not يحصل?

Because الحساسية is grammatically feminine, and the verb agrees with it.

• الحساسية = feminine noun
• تحصل = it happens / occurs for a feminine subject

If the subject were masculine, you would usually get يحصل instead.

So:

• الحساسية ممكن تحصل = an allergic reaction can happen
• If the noun were masculine, the verb would usually be masculine too.
