Arabic question!
Dear Arabic friends,
I have 3 grammar questions for you:
1) What is the difference between منذ and قبل (for example, منذ سنة vs. قبل سنة)?
2) When do you use the word في before stating time? (For example, "أخرج من البيت كل يوم الساعة السابعة" or "أخرج من البيت كل يوم في الساعة السابعة"
3) Could you give me an example of اسم الفاعل as a verb? (Use a full sentence, with words like رايح / فاهم / شايف, etc.) I just don't know when to use those words.
Thank you so much in advance! :)

1) منذ = since.
قبل = before.
2) I think "الساعة السابعة" like "مبكرًا" > "early" or "صباحًا" which means it's adverb.
And "في الساعة السابعة" like "في وقت مبكر" > "in early time" or "في الصباح" which means it's noun.
3) Examples: أنا رايح المدرسة (Egyptian dialect) = أنا ذاهب إلى المدرسة (MSA) = I'm going to school
أنا فاهم الدرس (Egyptian dialect and MSA) = I am understanding the lesson.
هو شايف المستقبل مشرق (Egyptian dialect) = He is seeing the future is bright.

we usually we use على before stating time
أخرج من البيت كل يوم على السّاعة السّابعة صباحًا
اسم الفاعل is not a verb, we use it to refer the the person doing some activity
like: write => writer (كتب => كاتب)
