ABSTRACT
A nominal sentence must be conjoined to the main clause by a waaw referred
to as Haal-waaw, لالحا واو. This Haal-sentence must have as its head an independent pronoun that refers to the subject of the verb in the main

subordinate clause is usually in the present tense, as in the following sentences

however, must always be in the present tense.
