Words and the Types of Words

Words and the Types of Words  
A word  having a meaning is called  ( الكلمة ).  It  is  of  three types: (الاسم) – noun, (الفعل) - verb and (الحرف) - particle. 
An  (الاسم )  is  independent  of  other  words  in  indicating  its meaning. It also does not have any tense, e.g. (رجل) – man, (حامد)  –  specific  name,  (ضرب')  –  to  hit,  (طيب)  –  good,  (هو)  – he, (أنا) – I. 
A (الفعل ) is a word that indicates some action together with one of the three tenses, e.g. (ضرب) – he hit, (ذهب) – he went, (يذهب) – he is going or he will go.
A (الحرف) is a word whose meaning cannot be understood without an (اسم) or (فعل ), e.g. (من) – from, (على) – on, (في) – in, (إلى) – till, (ذهب الرجل إلى المسجد) – The man went to the mosque.
