Pronouns may be used in sentences to separate the subject and the object (predicate), in situations where there is no verb.

For example:

هَذا هُوَ التفاح اخضر - This is a green apple.

Compared to a noun phrase:

هَذا التفاح اخضر - This green apple…

Another example:

هَذَهِ هِيَ الصورة - This is a picture.

هَذَهِ الصورة - This picture…

Sometimes the pronoun of separation is omitted if the meaning is nonetheless clear without it.

To express possession, you can use the word عِندَ (a’inda), which means “to have”. This word requires a pronoun suffix, or “attached pronoun”. For example, the attached pronoun نا (-na) is used for “we”. Take عِندَ and add نا and it becomes عِندَنا (a’indana), which means “we have”. It is important to note that عِندَ is not a verb.
Here are some objects:
سَيّارة (sayyara) - a car
بَيت (beyt) - a house, home
مَكاتِب (maktab) - an office
Now, say عِندَنا followed by the object, which can be definite (e.g. the car) or indefinite (e.g. a car).
عِندَنا سَيارة - We have a car
عِندَنا السَيارة - We have the car
The attached pronouns can also be suffixed to the object nouns. For example, تَيتنا (beytna) which means “our house”.
Here is the list of all attached pronouns.

In English, there are just a few pronouns:

I - first person (singular)

We - first person (plural)

You - second person (singular and plural)

He - third person (singular, male)

She - third person (singular, female)

It - third person (singular, no gender)

They - third person (plural)

Arabic is a bit different than this, with different pronouns depending on gender as well as number.

Gender

Like Spanish, there is no equivalent of “it”. Instead, all objects or nouns are assigned a gender.

For example, الجريدة (al jareeda) - the newspaper, is a feminine noun. It ends in a ta’ marbuta, which is an indication that the noun is feminine. On the other hand, the word الحاسوب (al haasuub) computer, is a masculine noun. In Arabic, you would refer to the computer with the pronoun “he” and the newspaper is “she”.

Gender is also important for the “you” and the “they” pronouns. Arabic has one word for “you”, talking to a female and a different word for referring to a male. Same, for a group of men (or masculine objects) or females (or feminine objects).

Number

There are also different pronouns for “you”, depending on the number of people or objects you are referring to. In Spanish, there are different pronouns for you (singular), you (plural, masculine), and you (plural, feminine). In Arabic, there are different pronounce for you (singular, masculine), you (singular, feminine), you (dual), you (plural, masculine), and you (plural, feminine). The use of dual pronouns is something more unusual for Arabic, compared to other languages. The third person pronouns also vary in the same way, according to gender and number. There is he, she, they (dual), they (masculine, plural), they (feminine, plural).
