Questions & Answers about انتهت الوردية. مع ذلك يزرع صديقي شتلة.

Why does انتهت end with -ت?

Because the subject الوردية is grammatically feminine.

• انتهى = it ended / he ended
• انتهت = it ended with a feminine subject

Since الوردية has the feminine ending ـة and is treated as feminine, the past-tense verb agrees with it:

• انتهت الوردية = The shift ended

This is very common in Arabic: past verbs show gender agreement.

Why is the verb placed before the subject in انتهت الوردية?

This is a very common Arabic word order: verb + subject.

So:

• انتهت الوردية literally follows ended the shift
• natural English translation: The shift ended

Arabic often prefers verb-first order, especially in formal written language like Modern Standard Arabic.

You could also see a subject-first version:

• الوردية انتهت

That is also possible, but the original verb-first order is very normal and natural.
