This chapter is 👌 🌲 SUGGESTION I request you to teach " WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN " EXCEPTION " & " EXEMPTION " (2) You forgot one paint (a) Religious Place like TEMPLE, CHURCH, MOSQUE, GURUDWARA & OTHERS If we visit regularly We don't use the DEFINITE ARTICLE "THE" But If we occasionally visit to that place we use the DEFINITE ARTICLE.

I really appreciate you because of fantastic teaching🙏❤️❤️❤️

[HabebAUH]

I really like your explanation. Because it's quiet and clear.👍

I respect all languages, but let me say, I notice that the grammar of the English language changes according to the sentence. Quite the opposite in the Arabic language, the grammar of the Arabic language does not change in different sentences, it is only one and fixed.❤️
We are pleased to join you to learn Arabic
Thanks too mach
