Questions & Answers about الحمولة ممتلئة.

Why is there no word for is in الحمولة ممتلئة?

Because this is a nominal sentence in Arabic. In the present tense, Arabic usually does not use a separate word for is/am/are.

So:

• الحمولة ممتلئة = The load is full

Arabic simply puts the subject first and the description after it.

If you want a past-tense was, then Arabic does use a verb:

• كانت الحمولة ممتلئة = The load was full

Why is ممتلئة feminine? Why not ممتلئ?

Because الحمولة is a feminine singular noun, and the predicate adjective must agree with it in gender and number.

So:

• masculine: ممتلئ
• feminine: ممتلئة

Since the subject is الحمولة, the correct form is:

• الحمولة ممتلئة

not:

• الحمولة ممتلئ

How do I know that الحمولة is feminine?

A big clue is the ending ة (taa marbuuṭa), which very often marks feminine nouns in Arabic.

So حمولة is grammatically feminine, and when you add ال, it becomes الحمولة.

Because it is feminine, the describing word must also be feminine:

• الحمولة ممتلئة

Keep in mind that grammatical gender in Arabic is a grammar feature, not necessarily a reflection of natural gender.
