The Shaykh :"So make it accusative by what occurs in it" To what does the pronoun "it" refer?
The student: The adverb.
The Shaykh : It refers to the object of the preposition or the adverb, as you wish, because he says it is what is called an adverb. Make it accusative by what occurs in it. What is it that occurs in it? The verb or what functions like a verb. The verb or what functions like a verb. So you say: "I stayed with you for an hour." Where is the thing that occurs in the adverb? The staying. And you say: "I am staying with you for an hour." "Staying" is not a verb, but it functions like a verb. So his saying: "by what occurs in it" means: by that in which it occurred, whether it is a verb or it stands in the place of a verb, which is the active participle and the passive participle. Yes: "So make it accusative by what occurs in it, explicitly *** like *kana*, or else intend it implicitly" Explicitly, like *kana*, meaning: it is apparent, so it does not need [to be intended], or else it is intended implicitly. An example of the explicit here is "stay." Where is the operator that occurs in it?
The student: Stay.
The Shaykh : "Stay" is apparent. Good, and for example, you say: "I ask you, how long did you stay in this place?"
The student: One hour.
The Shaykh : So you say "an hour," meaning you stayed for an hour, so here.
The student: The adverb.
