Questions & Answers about يمكن الفرقة الموسيقية تعزف عالمسرح التاني.

Why is الموسيقية after الفرقة, and why does it also have الـ?

In Arabic, adjectives normally come after the noun they describe.

So:

• الفرقة = the band
• الموسيقية = musical

Together, الفرقة الموسيقية = the musical band / the band

The adjective also matches the noun in:

• definiteness
• gender
• number

Since الفرقة is definite and feminine singular, the adjective is also definite and feminine singular:

• الفرقة الموسيقية

Not:

• الفرقة موسيقية if you mean the musical band
• الفرقة الموسيقي because that would not match the feminine noun

Why is the verb تعزف feminine singular?

Because الفرقة is grammatically feminine singular.

Even though a band contains several people, Arabic usually makes the verb agree with the grammatical form of the noun, not with the number of people inside the group.

So:

• الفرقة تعزف = the band plays

The same thing happens with many collective nouns in Arabic.
