In this subject, students will continue reading the Stories of the Prophets textbook whereby they further build on the knowledge of vocabulary, syntax and morphology. The higher verb forms will be introduced for the first time. Students will also acquire the knowledge of how most nouns and verbs are derived by learning the systematic approach to word derivation developed by grammarians. This subject will also continue with developing the reading, writing and composition skills acquired in the previous unit.
