Introduction to Hebrew Verbs
Each Hebrew verb identifies;
1.
Person
(first, second or third) of the subject of the verb
2.
Gender
(masculine or feminine) of the subject of the verb
3.
Number
(singular or plural) of the subject of the verb
4.
Tense
(perfect or imperfect) of the verb
5.
And
sometimes the gender and number of the object of the verb
The infinitive form of Hebrew verbs
Like in English, it is
impossible to use the infinitive form of the verb without the
preceding “helping” verbs.
For instance, you cannot say “I
to eat soup now”.
The correct way is “I want
to eat soup now”.
The following helping verbs
always come in front of an infinitive form of another verb.
Let's first take a look
at these verbs in
singular form - male and female:
