Sample Sudan School Certificate — Arabic Language Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Sudan School Certificate — Arabic Language exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 20+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In «كانَ الجوُّ لطيفًا», what is the grammatical role of «لطيفًا»?
A.اسم كان مرفوع
B.خبر كان منصوب
C.فاعل مرفوع
D.مضاف إليه مجرور
Explanation: Kana leaves its subject nominative and makes its predicate accusative. Latifan is the predicate describing al-jawwu.
2Choose the correct completion: «إنَّ ____ ناجحونَ». The missing word means 'the diligent students' and is a sound masculine plural.
A.المجتهدونَ
B.المجتهداتُ
C.المجتهدينَ
D.المجتهدانِ
Explanation: Inna requires an accusative subject. The sound masculine plural marks the accusative with ya, so al-mujtahidina is required.
3In «لم يَسْعَ الطالبُ إلى الشرِّ», how is the jussive ending of «يَسْعَ» marked?
A.بالضمة الظاهرة
B.بالفتحة علامة النصب
C.بحذف النون
D.بحذف حرف العلة
Explanation: Lam makes the following imperfect verb jussive. Because yas'a has a weak final radical, its jussive form is marked by deleting that weak letter.
4In «مَنْ يجتهدْ ينجحْ», which analysis of «مَنْ» is correct?
A.اسم شرط جازم يجزم فعلين
B.حرف جر يجر الاسم بعده
C.اسم استفهام في سؤال مباشر
D.اسم موصول لا يؤثر في الفعلين
Explanation: Man introduces a conditional relationship: whoever works hard succeeds. It is a jussive conditional noun governing the condition verb and its result.
5In «لا طالبَ علمٍ مهملٌ», which analysis of «طالبَ» is correct?
A.فاعل منصوب بالفتحة
B.اسم لا النافية للجنس منصوب لأنه مضاف
C.اسم لا مبني على الفتح لأنه مفرد غير مضاف
D.مفعول به لفعل محذوف وجوبًا
Explanation: La of absolute negation governs its subject and predicate. Here taliba is annexed to ilmin, so it is an accusative, inflected subject rather than a nonannexed noun built on fatha.
6In «العالِمُ كالمصباحِ في الهدايةِ», which word expresses the point of resemblance, «وجه الشبه»?
A.العالِم
B.المصباح
C.الهداية
D.الكاف
Explanation: The scholar is compared to a lamp in providing guidance. Thus al-hidaya names the shared quality, while kaf is the comparison particle.
7A writer describes a brave commander as «أسدٌ يقودُ الجنودَ», intending a person rather than an animal. Which device is used?
A.تشبيه مرسل بأداة ظاهرة
B.مجاز مرسل علاقته الجزئية
C.كناية عن عدد الجنود
D.استعارة تصريحية
Explanation: The commander is omitted and the comparison term asad is stated directly. This is an explicit metaphor based on the resemblance in courage.
8Which device appears in the pair «الليل والنهار» when a sentence contrasts them?
A.طباق
B.جناس تام
C.سجع
D.تشبيه بليغ
Explanation: Tibaq joins contrasting meanings such as night and day. It does not require similarity in the words' sounds.
9A sentence says «فلانٌ نظيفُ اليدِ» to praise a person's honesty, while the literal meaning remains possible. Which analysis is most accurate?
A.استعارة تصريحية يذكر فيها اسم المشبه به
B.كناية عن صفة الأمانة
C.مجاز مرسل علاقته الزمانية
D.تشبيه مفصل يذكر وجه الشبه
Explanation: The expression points indirectly to honesty through clean hands. Kinaya permits the literal meaning while intending an associated quality.
10A poem mourns a deceased friend and recalls the friend's virtues. What is its principal poetic purpose?
A.الهجاء
B.الغزل
C.الرثاء
D.الوصف الجغرافي
Explanation: Ritha is elegy: mourning the dead and remembering their qualities. Praise within such a poem serves its elegiac purpose.

No. The MCQs help recognize and evaluate language choices; practise handwritten analysis, composition and the prescribed literary texts separately.

Who is eligible?

The guide addresses registered Sudan School Certificate candidates. Current school, private-candidate and external-centre eligibility rules were not verified and should be checked with the examination administration.

Are the current sitting fee and pass mark verified?

No. These fields are pending primary-source confirmation. Check the current examination instructions and your registered school or centre. The Ministry portal publishes certificate issuance charges; those do not establish the examination sitting fee or a per-subject total.
