PARTICLES THAT RESEMBLE VERBS AND THEIR USAGE IN QURAN

In Arabic language, words are categorized as nouns, verbs, and particles. Nouns and verbs have meanings by themselves; however, prepositions do not have meaning only by themselves. Nouns and verbs can stand for meaning patterns. In Arabic language, particles and prepositions are considered the same in terms of their meanings and functions. In this study, we have examined the six particles on which there is consensus in classical and modern syntax sources that they resemble verbs and exist in Quran: Inna, Anna, Kaana, Lakinne, Leyte, Lealle. These particles are considered to be part of newasih prepositions. They cause grammatical changes in the sentence. Their resemblance to verbs is due to their being mabni over fatha, coming before nouns, for their being joinable to mansub and nun-u wikayah prepositions, for having three or four letters. We have found that these particles are numerous and they are fine examples of the concise statements of the divine message of Quran
