الوَلَد طَوِيل
Making a statement
Take ال off the adjective and you've said "is"
To make a statement, the noun must be definite and the adjective indefinite.
Phrases
By removing ال from the adjective, you've said something about the boy.
That's how Arabic says "is": the noun keeps its "ال", the adjective drops it, and nothing goes in between.
