Adjectives have both masculine and feminine forms. The singular feminine adjective is just like the masculine adjective but with the ta marbuta to the end.
*this same adjective is used both both for men and women. Arabic adjectives always follow the noun they modify.
جـِدًّا is the Arabic word equivalent to 'very' and comes after adjectives.
When an adjective modifies a definite noun, the definite article is placed in front of the adjective.

In addition to the masculine / feminine distinction we've already seen, Arabic has singular, dual and plural forms of pronouns, nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. The singular form is used when referring to one person or thing, the dual subject pronoun to refer to two people or two things, and the plural form when referring to more than two people or things. ان is added at the end of noun to indicate that it is dual- representing two people or objects.
practice ان is also added to the end of adjectives that modify a dual noun.
Following are the dual subject pronouns..

In Arabic, there are two types of noun and adjective plural forms: sound (regular) plurals, and broken (irregular) plurals. Masculine sound plural nouns end in ون and feminine sound plural nouns end in ات.
Usually feminine inanimate nouns that end in ta marbuta take the feminine sound plural.
There are some important exceptions to this rule though.
There are also some masculine nouns, usually borrowed words, that take the feminine sound plural.
The masculine sound plural is never used with inanimate nouns.
Lots of irregular adjectives.
For people nouns that have both masculine and feminine forms, often the feminine plural is regular and the masculine plural irregular.
Following are the plural subject pronouns.
نحنُ is also used for dual 'we'. هؤلاء is the both the masculine and the feminine form of these.

In Arabic, possession is indicated by appending a suffix to a noun. This suffix reflects the gender and plurality of the possessor or possessors.
*money is always plural Your (masculine) and your (feminine) are spelled the same but pronounced differently.
The possessive pronoun (its) does not exist in Arabic, it is referred to as (his) or (her) depending whether the noun is masculine or feminine. The their forms are never used with inanimates.
