2.8  حرف النصب واسمها

This fragment is made up of two parts. The first is what is called حرف النصب. This is a حرف that puts the اسم that comes after it in the نصب status. The second is an اسم that follows and is in the نصب status. Unlike the جار ومجرور, the two parts of this fragment can have a long-distance relationship. In cases where the اسم directly follows the حرف النصب, this fragment is very easy to spot and construct. In cases where something does come between the two parts (always a جار ومجرور or a special مضاف), simply look for the first word in the نصب status and ignore everything in between. Remember that Every حرف النصب NEEDS an اسم .You will NEVER find a نصب حرف alone.
