Rules of plural-
Plurals are 2 types in Arabic- 1. جَمْعُ السَّالِمِ well formed plural 2. ِجَمْعُ التَّكْسِير broken plural.
Well-formed plural are two types:
١ . جَمْعُ الْمُذَكَّرِ السَّالِمُ
٢. جَمْعُ الْمُؤَنَّثِ السَّالِمُ
In the case of جَمْعُ الْمُذَكَّرِ السَّالِمُ if ism is in مَرْفُوْعٌ then وْنَ is added at the end.
And for مَنْصُوْبٌ and مَجْرُوْرٌ, يْنَ is added at the end to form plural. Without some exception, generally well-formed plural is formed in case of personal. Masculine well-formed plural is not occurred in case of object.
