Matching masculine and feminine words

As far as I am concerned, learning is a slow process and requires a lot of patience. In the list below, watch carefully how the words are matched in terms of masculine and feminine. If the first word is masculine then the second word must also be masculine. If the first word is feminine then the second word must also be feminine.

  1. الْطَالِبُ مَرِيضٌ aTTaliibu muriidun. The male student is sick.
  2. الْطَّالِبَةُ صَغِيرَةٌ aTTaalibatu Saghiiratun. The female student is young.
  3. الْمُدَرِّسَةُ وَاقِفَةٌ al mudarrisu waqifatun. The male teacher is standing.
