Verbs: Present 3 is the thirty-sixth skill (assuming read left to right) in the Hebrew language tree. This skill has six lessons and teaches another new binyan and many new verbs.
Grammar Notes[]
This skill introduces another new binyan, which are the "hif'il" verbs. Hif'il verbs are active verbs, and many of them are causative versions of other verbs with the same root: for example, לחזור (in the pa'al binyan) means "to return" as in the sentence "I returned home," and להחזיר (in the hif'il binyan) means "to return something" as in the sentence "I returned the book that I borrowed."
In many hif'il verbs, only two of the three root consonants are realized.
Here are examples of hif'il verbs conjugated in the present tense:
| להסכים | Masculine | Feminine |
|---|---|---|
| Singular | מסכים | מסכימה |
| Plural | מסכימים | מסכימות |
| להבין | Masculine | Feminine |
|---|---|---|
| Singular | מֵבין | מְבינה |
| Plural | מְבינים | מְבינות |
