Don’t drop ser/estar

Arabic omits "to be" in the present ("the house big"); Spanish always needs it — "la casa ES grande". If the sentence has no verb, add ser or estar.

from your first language

un/una is new; gender is familiar

Arabic has al- but no indefinite article, so un/una gets dropped ("tengo coche" → "tengo UN coche"). Gender itself transfers well — lean on that advantage.

from your first language

Adjective after the noun (advantage!)

Arabic already puts adjectives after the noun and makes them agree — "la casa blanca" will feel natural. Bank the win; spend the effort on ser/estar.

core challenge

Gender + adjective agreement

Articles and adjectives agree with the noun: el libro rojo / la casa roja.

core challenge

ser vs estar

ser = identity/permanent, estar = state/location. English merges both into "to be".

core challenge

Subjunctive mood

Triggered by doubt, wishes, emotion (espero que… vengas).
