Combining a heading with a clear explanation · Using nouns in headings

Using nouns in headings in context, with bilingual examples and practice.

Application goal: Using nouns in headings.

A verb can become a noun, such as decide → decision, for a compact formal style. Too many abstract nouns make writing heavy; a direct verb is sometimes clearer.

Context: Combining a heading with a clear explanation. Identify the wording that achieves this goal, then adapt the details to a situation of your own.

Practical examples

A heading such as "Review and approval" can help readers identify the purpose of a section.

قد يساعد عنوان مثل «المراجعة والاعتماد» القراء على تحديد غرض القسم.

The paragraph below should then explain who reviews the document and who approves it.

ينبغي أن توضح الفقرة أسفله من يراجع المستند ومن يعتمده.

Using only noun phrases throughout the section would leave those responsibilities ambiguous.

سيترك استخدام العبارات الاسمية وحدها في القسم كله تلك المسؤوليات غامضة.

A concise heading and an explicit sentence can therefore complement each other.

لذلك، يمكن لعنوان موجز وجملة صريحة أن يكمل أحدهما الآخر.

The communications team checks the wording, while the project lead confirms the final version.

يراجع فريق التواصل الصياغة، بينما يؤكد قائد المشروع النسخة النهائية.
