Jazaakum Allaahu khayran for the clarification and the correction of my error with “this book” as opposed to this is the book.
May Allaah Reward you for benefiting the believers AMEEN

Wa’alikum as-salaam wa rahmatullah,
Jazakumullahu khayuran, that was a typo actually. May Allah reward you for your efforts!
Als, “hadhaal kitaabu” is not “this is the book”, but “this book …” (it’s a fragment), wallahu ‘alim. I guess it depends on how you use it (context).

Bismillaah
Was Salaamu ‘alaykum

There is a part in this lesson which confused me.
Where “hadhaa kitaabun” is this is a book (general) and “hadhaal kitaabu” is this is the book”.
Since kitaab is not a “feminine noun” how did the kabirun become “kabiratu” as opposed to “kabiru”?
