Grammar
Read the rule, notice the pattern and then produce your own examples.
Core rule / strategy
All P2 grammar assessed. Five grammar structures are tested across all four components. Cumulative P2 grammar (P1 conditional Type 1, D1–D6 full grammar) drawn on throughout.
Notice the pattern
- مَوضوع التَّقييم هو التَّعليم وخُطَط المُستَقبَل.
- الكَلام المَنقول مَطلوب في الكِتابة والتَّحَدُّث.
- الماضي التَّامّ يُبنى مِن كان قد + الماضي.
- إِذا شَرط حَقيقي؛ لَو شَرط افتِراضي.
Accuracy checklist
- Check the subject and verb or noun/adjective agreement.
- Check gender, number and tense or time frame.
- Use the lesson structure in a complete, meaningful sentence.
- Read the sentence aloud and correct anything that sounds incomplete.

مَوضوع التَّقييم هو التَّعليم وخُطَط المُستَقبَل. الكَلام المَنقول مَطلوب في الكِتابة والتَّحَدُّث. الماضي التَّامّ يُبنى مِن كان قد + الماضي. إِذا شَرط حَقيقي؛ لَو شَرط افتِراضي. تَتَضَمَّن الاِستمارة المُؤَهِّلات والخُطَّة الشَّرطِيَّة.
- What is the main topic or situation?
- Write one word you heard clearly and one similar word you must not confuse with it.
- Replay once and confirm the correct detail.
Check your listening
A successful answer identifies the main topic, at least three accurate words and one relevant detail. Replay once, then reveal the transcript only if you still need support.
📄
Reading
Underline known words before answering.
قال إنَّ. تَعليمي وخُطَطي المُستَقبَلِيَّة. كنتُ قد حصَلتُ على.
- What is the main idea or situation?
- Choose one phrase and explain what it means in this context.
- Find one example that shows the lesson language or grammar in use.
- What extra detail could you add to make the text more complete?
Reading support
Start with names, numbers, repeated words, connectors and familiar verb patterns. You do not need to translate every word.
🗣️
Speaking
Build your answer, then ask a follow-up question.
- Talk about a future plan. Say what you will do, why, and one step you need to take.
- Use at least three useful items from this lesson and one complete sentence with the target grammar.
- Add one reason, detail or example instead of giving only a short answer.

Five structures — final check
"P2 gave you five powerful grammar tools: reported speech with قال إنَّ and five other verbs, past perfect with كان قد, conditional Type 1 with إذا, conditional Type 2 with لَو, and academic education vocabulary. These tools set you apart from D1–D6 Arabic and prepare you for IGCSE Year 10. Look at me everything." you think of one sentence using لَو (Type 2 conditional) — the hardest structure. Papers over.
Step 115 min
Part A — Listening (20 marks)
Text 1 (55 sec): A student describes their educational journey — 8 multiple choice (3 options): what they had achieved before P2 (past perfect), what their a partner said about their potential (reported speech — listen for verb + إنَّ), their university plan if accepted (conditional Type 1), what would have been different if they'd had more support (conditional Type 2 — listen for لَو), their future career field, a study skills technique they mentioned, their opinion on exam pressure, a reported statistic about university acceptance rates. 8 marks. Text 2 (45 sec): Two people discuss education reform — matching (Person A / Person B / Both). 6 statements — includes past perfect and reported speech. 6 marks. Text 3 (55 sec): Education ministry official — select TWO correct statements from five. Academic register, reported speech throughout. 6 marks.
Step 220 min
Part B — Reading and Writing (30 marks)
Reading (10 marks): 85-word university personal statement (partly vowelled — contains past perfect, reported speech, both conditional types). 6 questions: 1 R1 (what course they are applying for), 2 R2 (specific achievements and plans), 2 R3 (including "identify ONE conditional Type 2 (لَو) sentence and explain what hypothetical argument the writer is making"), 1 R4 (gap-fill — choose between reporting verbs: قال vs أشار vs اعترف). Writing Q1 (5 marks): University application form — fill in 5 fields in Arabic (qualification sought, prior achievement using كان قد, your partner's recommendation using reported speech, conditional plan if accepted, future aspiration). Writing Q2 (15 marks): Article or email (about 130–140 words): "تَعليمي وخُطَطي المُستَقبَلِيَّة." TC (5): all content present. Range (5): reported speech (different verb) (1), past perfect (1), conditional Type 1 (1), conditional Type 2 (1), formal connector (1). Accuracy (5): إنَّ/أنَّ accuracy (2), كان قد agreement (2), conditional tense accuracy (1).
Step 315 min
Part C — Speaking (10 marks)
Role play (4 marks): University admissions interview — 4 prompts: introduce yourself and your educational background (past perfect expected: كنتُ قد حصَلتُ على..) (2 marks), describe feedback you have received (reported speech expected: قال أستاذي إنَّني..) (1 mark), say what you will study if accepted (conditional Type 1: إذا قُبِلتُ، سـ..) (1 mark). Communication (2) + Accuracy (2 — reported speech إنَّ and past perfect agreement). Topic conversation (6 marks): 3 questions — "ما الذي كنتَ قد قرَّرتَه بشأن مستقبلك قبل هذا العام؟ (Past perfect required) ماذا قال معلِّموك عن طموحاتك؟ (Reported speech required) لَو كانت لديك موارد لا نهائية لتعلُّم أي شيء، ماذا ستختار؟ (a Type 2 conditional is expected here)" Communication (3) + QoL (3 — all three grammar structures above present and accurate).

My target for P3 (Travel, Holidays and Transport) is.." Preview P3: "Next unit — travel, transport, holidays. We complete the conditional system by making Type 2 fully automatic in writing and speech.

Key takeaways
- Demonstrate P2 language — reported speech, past perfect, both conditional types — across all four skills
- Produce the most sophisticated Arabic writing of the programme so far under exam conditions
- Reflect on progress and set targets for P3 (Travel, Holidays and Transport)
- Grammar focus: All P2 grammar assessed. Five grammar structures are tested across all four components. Cumulative P2 grammar (P1 conditional Type 1, D1–D6 full grammar) drawn on throughout.
Final check
P2 formal assessment: Listening (20) + Reading (10) + Writing (20) + Speaking (10) = 60 marks. P2 cumulative: P1+P2 = 120 marks. Return with: (1) Reported speech accuracy rate (إنَّ/أنَّ + pronoun replacement), (2) Past perfect accuracy rate (كان/كانت agreement), (3) Conditional Type 2 accuracy rate (لَو + past + لـَ prefix), (4) Speaking note on which structures appeared spontaneously vs were avoided.
Optional follow-up
No follow-up task needed — well earned rest. Optional: find one Arabic text that uses all five P2 grammar structures naturally (a newspaper editorial, a university speech, a politician's address in Arabic). It exists — finding it will Look at you how sophisticated your Arabic reading has become.
Confidence check
How secure do you feel after this lesson?
Remember: quick revision works best when you revisit weak vocabulary and correct errors, not when you try to complete everything in one sitting.
