Grammar Rules
Indefinite noun
وَشَجَرَةًۭ (And a tree) has no ال and takes tanwīn (the "n" sound at the end), so it means "a" or "some" — not a specific one.
We translate it as "a/an" or leave it general.
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَشَجَرَةًۭ (And a tree) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food [i.e., olives] for those who eat.
