2.Determines the special declension (irab) states of the Five Nouns (Esma-i Hamse) within sentences and uses interrogative particles according to their functions.
3.Comprehends the conjugation and structural mutation characteristics of hamzated (mehmuz) and geminate (muzaaf) verbs in both triliteral bare and increased forms.
4.Distinguishes the types of adjectives within sentences and correctly utilizes the circumstantial clause (hal) with its various types in sentences.
5.Constructs passive verb structures and applies the declension (irab) characteristics of the passive subject (naibu'l-fail), which acts as the object of these verbs.

7.Identifies the adverbials of time and place (mef'ulun fih) within sentences and applies the connecting functions of coordinating conjunctions between sentence components.
