Well, I'm a beginner in the Arabic, so I don't understand some things.So..
First :
Why there must be هو in a sentence like this:
مسطف هو الرجل
Why it can't be just مسطف الرجل
And the second question that i want to ask you is about the DUAL.What is all about.In general what is the difference between the "normal" plural and the dual.
I think that dual is for 2 people, singular is for 1 person and plural is for many peoples.But I don't know if I'm right.
Thanks/ ٍShukran
