"غُرْفة اَلْأُسْتاذ مُحَمَّد واسِعة."

Translation: Professor Mohamed's room is spacious.

[timorss]

"The room of professor mohamed is spacious"
should be acceptable

[smi180609]

don't you mean that it should be acceptable to say: "the professor Mohamed's room is spacious." Because there is no ال before room. you can only say "the room" if there is an ال before it right?

[MichelleDa878143]

If the name of the professor is given, then don't add the word "the" before his title. - I saw Professor Samia.
But if there is no name given, then use the word "the" with the title. - I saw the professor.

[Bonjour689181]

Sometimes THE Professor and sometimes just Professor is accepted. How do we know which to use? Please explain.

[Ana343293]

I would like to know this too. I'm confused with "The professor" and just "professor"

[MichelleDa878143]

If the name of the professor is given, then don't add the word "the" before his title. - I saw Professor Samia. But if there is no name given, then use the word "the" with the title. - I saw the professor.

Not sure if this right but writing professor muhammed makes it definitive. And ال i think is used for possession of something here

[Alex789222]

The accepted spelling of Mohamed isn't ideal. There are quite a few ways to spell Mohamed.

[SoloBanuri]

Spelt the name as "Mohammad" and got it wrong..

[kara5712800]

Different ways of typing "Mohamed" should be acceptable

[Valentin588396]

Why is "The professor Mohammed's room is spacious" wrong ?

[TRCSM14]

Because that construction in English is wrong. In English you shouldn't add that article (the) if you specify the professor's name.

That is unlike romance languages - like French or Spanish - and in this case, Arabic.

[Sofia182259]

Mohammed with to m should be acceptable

[tomasmep]

Write a name wrongly shouldn't be considered as a learning mistake.
