Imperative 1 is the forty-eighth skill (assuming read left to right) in the Hebrew language tree. It teaches the command form of Hebrew and contains nine lessons.

Grammar Notes[]

The imperative tense in Hebrew has three forms; one for masculine singular, one for feminine singular, and one for both genders in the plural (there used to be two separate ones, but this distinction is very rare).

Like other tenses, the main three consonants of the verb are kept the same but the vowels change:

Pa'al verbs (1-3) Pi'el verbs (4-5) Hif'il verbs (6-7) Hitpa'el verbs (8-9)
Masculine Singular XוXX/XXX (pronounced X(e)XoX or X(e)XaX) XXX (pronounced XaXeX) XXXה (pronounced haXXeX) XXXהת (pronounced hitXaXeX)
Feminine Singular יXXX (pronounced XiXXi) יXXX (pronounced XaXXi) יXיXXה (pronounced haXXiXi) יXXXהת (pronounced hitXaXXi)
Plural וXXX (pronounced XiXXu) וXXX (pronounced XaXXu) וXיXXה (pronounced haXXiXu) וXXXהת (pronounced hitXaXXu)
