1
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:19,460
Today we are going to speak about the prepositions

2
00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:24,140
of English and Arabic. This is a very tricky subject 

3
00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:26,020
since

4
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:33,210
English has 150 prepositions,

5
00:00:33,650 --> 00:00:41,770
150 prepositions, while Arabic has only 20

6
00:00:41,770 --> 00:00:49,450
prepositions, six of them are widely used. So 

7
00:00:49,450 --> 00:00:51,610
there is no equivalence between the prepositions 

8
00:00:51,610 --> 00:00:57,500
of English and the prepositions of Arabic. The 

9
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:03,000
meaning is conveyed straightforwardly in Arabic by 

10
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,440
using only one preposition. However, the same 

11
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,580
meaning can be conveyed in a number of

12
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:12,920
prepositions in English. So this causes confusion 

13
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:20,410
and makes our students, I mean the Arab students, 

14
00:01:20,590 --> 00:01:24,490
to commit serious errors in using prepositions. 

15
00:01:25,070 --> 00:01:28,650
Most of them are interlingual errors. They result

16
00:01:28,650 --> 00:01:34,610
from Arabic. The preposition of English has

17
00:01:34,610 --> 00:01:41,490
semantic function and syntactic function. Semantic

18
00:01:41,490 --> 00:01:46,700
function means it gives a meaning. It refers to

19
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:51,980
place, time, a position, manner, etc. 

20
00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:58,400
Syntactically, it refers to case assignment. 

21
00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:04,420
The case I mean nominative, accusative, and

22
00:02:04,420 --> 00:02:08,720
genitive case. Mainly the genitive case and the

23
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,380
dative case are assigned by prepositions in a

24
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:18,980
certain places in a language. So we have, for 

25
00:02:18,980 --> 00:02:24,240
example, John gave Mary a book. John gave a book 

26
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:31,100
to Mary. To Mary, Mary, John here is a subject

27
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:37,500
assigned nominative case, while book is direct

28
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:43,640
object assigned accusative case and to Mary, Mary

29
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:48,640
is prepositional object assigned dative case. The 

30
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:52,420
dative case is equivalent to accusative case, 

31
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,060
fatha, but it is assigned by the preposition, the

32
00:02:58,060 --> 00:03:02,420
dative preposition too. At the same time, we have

33
00:03:02,420 --> 00:03:06,400
our other prepositions assigned genitive case, 

34
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,520
completely like Arabic, kasra. So we have He 

35
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,980
arrived in London. This means he dominantly lives 

36
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:22,800
or stays in London. He arrives in London is 

37
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,540
different from he arrives at London. Okay? At 

38
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:34,080
London means transitional arrival. However, in

39
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,940
London means dominant stay 

40
00:03:38,940 --> 00:03:43,930
in London. Okay, here he arrived in London or at 

41
00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:49,850
London, the prepositional noun London is assigned 

42
00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:55,970
genitive case by the prepositions at or in. Most 

43
00:03:55,970 --> 00:03:58,750
of the prepositions assign genitive case except

44
00:03:58,750 --> 00:04:04,090
the dative preposition to, which assigns dative

45
00:04:04,090 --> 00:04:08,410
case, which is equivalent to accusative case. 

46
00:04:09,970 --> 00:04:16,220
Okay. Semantically, we see that the prepositions 

47
00:04:16,220 --> 00:04:21,100
are of different semantic functions. We have 

48
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:27,320
prepositions of time. So we have in, at, on,

49
00:04:28,660 --> 00:04:36,520
after, before, etc. Now in is related to, it

50
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:45,240
precedes months, years, seasons, and parts of the 

51
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:50,300
day. So we have in months, we say in July, in 

52
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:56,580
September. For years, we say in 1985, 1999.

53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,800
Seasons, we say in summer, in the summer of 1969,

54
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:10,660
for example. We say in the morning, in the

55
00:05:10,660 --> 00:05:15,900
afternoon, in the evening. But if you speak about 

56
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:20,060
very, very specific time, we use at. I say at

57
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:28,780
noon, at dawn, at sunset. I mean the moment which

58
00:05:28,780 --> 00:05:36,260
refers to the existence of dawn, noon, or sunset. 

59
00:05:37,820 --> 00:05:41,340
However, if you speak about long duration, you say

60
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:44,360
in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening.

61
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,680
Okay? Also durations we see in, I say in a minute, 

62
00:05:52,240 --> 00:06:00,180
in two weeks, in an hour, in a day, in a month, in

63
00:06:00,180 --> 00:06:09,350
15 days. This is duration. However, at refers to

64
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:15,670
part of the day, as in we say at night, at six o

65
00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:19,170
'clock, at midnight. We speak about time, not

66
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:26,290
duration. Also, we refer to celebrations by using 

67
00:06:26,290 --> 00:06:32,030
at. At Christmas, at Easter, at Ramadan feast, 

68
00:06:32,830 --> 00:06:33,150
etc.

69
00:06:36,780 --> 00:06:40,020
If you speak about fixed phrases, we use also at.

70
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:44,100
So we say at the same time, not in the same time, 

71
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,840
at the same time. 

72
00:06:49,540 --> 00:06:55,660
On refers to the days. Days of the week take on.

73
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:02,080
Dates of the days also take on. I say on Sunday,

74
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:10,020
on Friday, on 25th of December. The date and days 

75
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:15,480
of the week receive on. Special holidays, we say 

76
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,280
on Good Friday, on Easter Sunday, on my birthday.

77
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,860
We mean the day. Okay? If you speak about special, 

78
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,140
very special part of the day, I say on the morning 

79
00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:35,160
of September. So this is specific, not generic. 

80
00:07:35,980 --> 00:07:41,110
Okay? on the morning of September. We see in the

81
00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:45,830
morning. Which morning? In the afternoon. In the 

82
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:49,830
evening. This is generic. However, speaking 

83
00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:54,690
specifically about one special morning becomes on.

84
00:07:56,290 --> 00:08:01,150
Okay, you see? On the morning of September the 

85
00:08:01,150 --> 00:08:11,100
11th. After refers also to time. I say, after

86
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:15,620
something happened, later than something happened, 

87
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:17,040
after school,

88
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,080
after lecture, 

89
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:31,700
after arrival, after the accident. It refers to 

90
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:36,280
something happening after another thing. Pay 

91
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,000
attention, please. 

92
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:47,000
Ago. Ago refers to the past. Okay? So it comes 

93
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,100
after time. Okay? It refers to how far something 

94
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,080
happened in the past. Six years ago. Five days

95
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,700
ago. Three hours ago. An hour ago. It refers to 

96
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:11,090
past. Past simple. Before, it's the opposite of 

97
00:09:11,090 --> 00:09:15,370
after, but it refers to something that happened

98
00:09:15,370 --> 00:09:19,370
earlier than some other things. I say before 

99
00:09:19,370 --> 00:09:24,350
Christmas, before Ramadan feast, before Al-Adha

100
00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:33,040
Eid or feast, okay? Between, it refers also to

101
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:38,420
separate two points. I say between Monday and

102
00:09:38,420 --> 00:09:43,320
Friday. So this is a duration of time between.

103
00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:50,740
We can use also by referring to time as well. So 

104
00:09:50,740 --> 00:09:55,340
we say not later than a special time by Thursday. 

105
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:02,040
By Thursday. Okay, they are going to finish the

106
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,820
project or they will have the project finished by 

107
00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:11,840
the end of April by the end of April Okay, not 

108
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,820
later than a special time. Yeah, not not later 

109
00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:21,300
than the end of April Okay During

110
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:26,960
So it refers to progressive action. Action will

111
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,740
happen during a period of time, through the whole 

112
00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:36,440
period of time. We say, for example, during the

113
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:42,880
holidays, most of us have picnics to the seashore. 

114
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:46,940
Okay? 

115
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,940
During the holidays. For, it refers also to the 

116
00:10:57,940 --> 00:11:04,030
period of time. for three weeks. This is duration.

117
00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:13,570
I stay in Gaza for six months. I have stayed in 

118
00:11:13,570 --> 00:11:17,090
Gaza for six months. I have stayed in Gaza for 

119
00:11:17,090 --> 00:11:22,250
five months. I have stayed in Gaza since last

120
00:11:22,250 --> 00:11:27,050
April. So for refers to duration. While since 

121
00:11:27,050 --> 00:11:31,930
refers to time. Okay. They are the key 

122
00:11:31,930 --> 00:11:38,970
prepositions used with present perfect Okay, 

123
00:11:39,230 --> 00:11:45,910
so I stay I have stayed for three weeks. From to

124
00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:52,650
from till until, these are our prepositions which 

125
00:11:52,650 --> 00:11:58,420
are mainly used to refer to time. Two points from

126
00:11:58,420 --> 00:12:00,980
a period, from Monday to Wednesday, for example.

127
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:05,900
From two. From Monday till Wednesday. Two is 

128
00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:09,400
equivalent to till. From Monday until Wednesday.

129
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:16,860
Two till until. They are of the same meaning. They 

130
00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:20,180
refer to two points from one period to another.

131
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,660
From Monday to Wednesday. 

132
00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:33,110
Okay. Past. Past as a preposition. It refers to 

133
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:37,330
time of the day. Twenty-three minutes past six.

134
00:12:39,450 --> 00:12:50,270
Okay. Half past six. Okay. So it refers to time, 

135
00:12:51,370 --> 00:12:57,280
the clock time. Okay. Since refers to point, not

136
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,780
duration. Specific point. Okay. Point of time. I 

137
00:13:02,780 --> 00:13:07,060
say since Monday. I haven't seen them since they

138
00:13:07,060 --> 00:13:12,060
traveled to London. I haven't seen him since he 

139
00:13:12,060 --> 00:13:17,020
traveled to Egypt. The time he traveled. The point 

140
00:13:17,020 --> 00:13:20,720
of time he traveled. So this is referred to by 

141
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,850
using since. Okay.

142
00:13:27,950 --> 00:13:32,570
Till and until also refer to time. I say till

143
00:13:32,570 --> 00:13:35,850
tomorrow, until tomorrow, the same thing.

144
00:13:40,310 --> 00:13:48,590
Too, it also refers to time of the day. Okay. So 

145
00:13:48,590 --> 00:13:54,510
we have twenty three minutes to six. Okay. Here we 

146
00:13:54,510 --> 00:14:04,050
have to and past. Past refers to after, and to 

147
00:14:04,050 --> 00:14:10,690
refers to before, okay. Up to and not more than 

148
00:14:10,690 --> 00:14:16,700
special time, up to six hours a day. Within. It's

149
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:20,280
during a period of time, within a day. I will 

150
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,500
finish the project within a day, within two days,

151
00:14:24,060 --> 00:14:27,180
within a month, within a year.

152
00:14:33,860 --> 00:14:37,780
These are the propositions of time. So we speak

153
00:14:37,780 --> 00:14:43,670
about different propositions, mainly in, on, at,

154
00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:52,890
for, since, after, before, till, until, ago, past, 

155
00:14:53,330 --> 00:15:02,590
to, up to, within, between, during. Okay.

156
00:15:05,450 --> 00:15:10,290
These refer to time. Okay. Now, if you translate

157
00:15:10,290 --> 00:15:14,830
them into Arabic, We speak about nearly 20

158
00:15:14,830 --> 00:15:18,630
prepositions, but if they are translated into Arabic, 

159
00:15:18,770 --> 00:15:24,850
they can be referred to by using Fi, one, or Men,

160
00:15:25,490 --> 00:15:31,490
two prepositions only versus 20 prepositions in

161
00:15:31,490 --> 00:15:35,430
English. So this faces or this makes difficulty 

162
00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:43,030
for your students to translate. And you yourself

163
00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:46,930
commit serious errors in translation, in the use

164
00:15:46,930 --> 00:15:52,050
of prepositions. Which to use? Which to use? On or 

165
00:15:52,050 --> 00:15:53,530
in or at?

166
00:15:56,810 --> 00:16:03,570
Between, for example, or among? So it's quite 

167
00:16:03,570 --> 00:16:07,530
difficult. You have to understand these

168
00:16:07,530 --> 00:16:10,610
prepositions, their semantic function, their

169
00:16:10,610 --> 00:16:14,870
lexical function, their syntactic function very 

170
00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:18,150
perfectly. Okay? And you have to use them 

171
00:16:18,150 --> 00:16:22,690
contextually. We have the prepositions of place 

172
00:16:22,690 --> 00:16:24,130

00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:25,800
phrasal verbs. Take after, get at, run out of, for

375
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:32,620

00:35:32,620 --> 00:35:37,380
phrasal verbs. They are also used for making

377
00:35:37,380 --> 00:35:43,100
idiomatic adjectives like grateful to, angry with.

378
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:50,600
We have also prepositional phrases like the

379
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,100

380
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:58,080

brown coat prepositional phrase Okay however in

383
00:36:10,260 --> 00:36:14,340
Arabic The preposition is a kind of conjunction

384
00:36:14,340 --> 00:36:18,220
that can connect two parts of the sentence with

385
00:36:18,220 --> 00:36:24,740
each other. So they convey a syntactic relation

386
00:36:24,740 --> 00:36:31,260
between noun and verb. This is in Arabic. So we

387
00:36:31,260 --> 00:36:36,360
have وقع الكتاب من أحمد. وقع الكتاب من أحمد. This

388
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,720
is transitive or intransitive verb. intransitive

389

كتبت بالقلم all of these sentences are

391
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:58,420
intransitive they contain intransitive there also

392
00:36:58,420 --> 00:37:03,520
we have derivational derivations

393
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,550
and their phrases In case of having derivation and

394
00:37:07,550 --> 00:37:12,610
their phrases, we have the preposition. In, ana

395
00:37:12,610 --> 00:37:18,610
katibun bilqalam. Katib, this is derived. This is

396
00:37:18,610 --> 00:37:22,410
nominal subject. Ism fa'al. Ana katibun bilqalam.

397
00:37:22,910 --> 00:37:26,550
Alqalamu maktubun bihi. Katib maktub. What do you

398
00:37:26,550 --> 00:37:30,670
call this? These are called derivations. You still

399
00:37:30,670 --> 00:37:31,810
recall morphology.

400
00:37:53,150 --> 00:37:58,770
These are derivations. We use the preposition ب

401
00:37:58,770 --> 00:38:01,670
which is equivalent to في.

402
00:38:04,820 --> 00:38:10,680
we have also abstract meaning or abstract semantic

403
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:18,320
function for the prepositions okay لَيْسَ زَيْدٌ

404
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,600
قَائِمٌ حقًا so the meaning is purely abstract

405
00:38:29,410 --> 00:38:32,930

406
00:38:32,930 --> 00:38:38,150
English Depends on the noun following it. I say on

407
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:48,550
Sunday in July in winter on the island in London
