إذن نختار البرنامج الآن.

إذن is a linking word. It often means so, then, or in that case.

In this sentence, it introduces a conclusion or next step:

• something has already been discussed
• and now a decision follows

So إذن helps the sentence sound like So, we choose the program now or Then, we choose the program now.

It is not the main verb; it is just connecting this sentence to what came before.

Because the verb itself already tells you the subject.

In نختار, the prefix نـ marks first person plural, so it means we choose.

Arabic often does this:

• أختار = I choose
• نختار = we choose
• تختار = you choose / she chooses
• يختار = he chooses

You can add نحن for emphasis:

• إذن نحن نختار البرنامج الآن

But it is not necessary, because نختار already includes we.

نختار is the imperfect form of the verb اختار.

So:

• اختار = he chose / to choose
• نختار = we choose / we are choosing

This verb is based on the root خ ي ر, which is connected with the idea of choosing or preferring.

A useful pattern to notice is:

• past: اختار
• present/imperfect: يختار / نختار

So نختار is not a completely random shape; it follows a common verb pattern in Arabic.

By itself, the Arabic imperfect can cover several ideas:

• present
• near future
• habitual action

Context tells you which one is meant.

Here, الآن means now, so the most natural reading is present or immediate action:

• we choose now
• we are choosing now

If Arabic wanted a clearer future meaning, it might use سـ or سوف:

• سنختار = we will choose
• سوف نختار = we will choose

البرنامج has الـ, the definite article, so it means the program.

Arabic uses definiteness much like English:

• برنامج = a program
• البرنامج = the program

So the sentence is talking about a specific program, not just any program.

Grammatically, البرنامج is the direct object of نختار. In fully vocalized Arabic, it would be البرنامجَ because it is in the accusative case, but short vowels are usually not written in normal text.

Yes, الآن can move, but the sentence as written is very natural.

This sentence has:

• connector: إذن
• verb: نختار
• object: البرنامج
• time adverb: الآن

That gives a smooth, neutral order:

• So, we choose the program now

You could also say:

• إذن نختار الآن البرنامج
• إذن الآن نختار البرنامج

These are also understandable, but they may shift emphasis slightly:

• putting الآن earlier can emphasize now
• leaving it at the end sounds very straightforward

In traditional grammar, yes, it can.

Classically, إذن may put the following imperfect verb into the subjunctive if:

• it directly precedes the verb
• it has the sense of consequence, like then / in that case
• and the action is future-oriented

In full vocalization, the difference would be:

• نختارُ = indicative
• نختارَ = subjunctive

But in normal unvocalized writing, both look the same:

• نختار

So in this sentence, you cannot see the mood from the spelling alone.

Also, in modern usage, many writers use إذن more loosely as a discourse marker, without focusing much on that classical rule.

Both spellings are commonly seen:

• إذن
• إذاً

They usually represent the same word.

In modern printed Arabic, إذن is very common and widely accepted. Many learners encounter both, so it is good to recognize them as variants.

It is usually pronounced roughly like idhan.

So if you see either spelling, do not assume it is a different word.

No, you should treat الآن as a fixed adverb meaning now.

Even though it contains الـ, learners normally do not analyze it as a regular noun phrase meaning the now. It functions as one whole word in modern Arabic.

So just learn:

• الآن = now

It behaves like a time expression, not like an ordinary noun with a separately translated article.
