Let's continue studying about dual in Arabic!
Today, I'm going to study about لَيْسَ◁ and so on.

【Review】
First, I'll write the conjugations of لَيْسَ◁ (exclude the dual forms). I'll try to explain it in English.
he did：لَيْسَ◁
she did：لَيْسَتْ◁
they did：لَيْسُوا◁
you(male) did：لَسْتَ◁
you(female) did：لَسْتِ◁
you guys did：لَسْتُمْ◁
I did：لَسْتُ◁
we did：لَسْنَا◁
I managed to type it. That's not good but I could memorize it clearly so overall, I did well done!

Now, Let's study about the dual forms.
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
two men did:لَيْسَا◁
two women did:لَيْسَتَا◁
you two guys did:لَسْتُمَا◁
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
There are 3 new conjugations. I think it's not very hard to memorize them.
Well, next I would like to make some sentences to memorize them eassily.
On the diary of Oct. 12th, I wrote the sentence using dual forms.
"You two guys aren't engineers."
لَسْتُمْ مُهَنْدِسَيْنِ◁
This sentence is completely wrong because the form isn't correct. I'll correct this sentence from now.
The form of noun is right. Here in this sentence, we have to use لَسْتُمَا◁ in the sentence.
That's why the correct sentence is;
لَسْتُمَا مُهَنْدِسَيْنِ◁

I've been studying Arabic for more than 3 years and I've been studying many rules Arabic grammar. But there are still a lot of grammar to study.
I want to study them slowly to understand clearly.
