__TOC__

Learning Hebrew verbs can be a daunting task for those who are new to the language, but it doesn't have to be. In this lesson, we will cover everything you need to know about Hebrew verbs, including present tense, past tense, and future tense, and how to use them in sentences. Let's get started!

== Hebrew Verb Basics ==

A verb is a word used to express an action, occurrence, or state of being. In Hebrew, verbs are conjugated to indicate the subject of the sentence, as well as the time period in which the action took place. Hebrew verbs come in three tenses: present, past, and future.

=== Present Tense ===

The present tense in Hebrew is used to describe actions that are happening right now or that are habitual. To form the present tense in Hebrew, you usually add specific suffixes to the root of the verb. Let's take the root "k-t-v" (כָּתַב) from the verb that means "to write" as an example:

{| class="wikitable"
!Hebrew !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| אֲנִי כּוֹתֵב|| ani kotev || I write
|-
| אַתָּה כּוֹתֵב || atah kotev || you (masculine) write
|-
| אַתְּ כּוֹתֶבֶת || at kotevet || you (feminine) write
|-
| הוּא כּוֹתֵב || hu kotev || he writes
|-
| הִיא כּוֹתֶבֶת || hi kotevet || she writes
|-
| אֲנַחְנוּ כּוֹתְבִים || anakhnu kotvim || we write
|-
| אַתֶּם כּוֹתְבִים || atem kotvim || you (masculine plural) write
|-
| אַתְּן כּוֹתְבוֹת || aten kotvot || you (feminine plural) write
|-
| הֵם כּוֹתְבִים || hem kotvim || they (masculine) write
|-
| הֵן כּוֹתְבוֹת || hen kotvot || they (feminine) write
|}

The present tense can also be formed using irregular verbs, such as "l'hitpalel" (לְהִתְפַּלֵּל) which means "to pray", "haya" (הָיָה) which means "to be", or "lir'ot" (לִרְאוֹת) which means "to see". These irregular verbs will need to be memorized, as their conjugation patterns do not follow the same rules as regular verbs.

=== Past Tense ===

The past tense in Hebrew is used to describe actions that have already happened in the past. To form the past tense in Hebrew, you usually add specific suffixes to the root of the verb. Let's take the root "k-t-v" (כָּתַב) from the verb that means "to write" as an example:

{| class="wikitable"
!Hebrew !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|אֲנִי כָּתַבְתִּי || ani katavti || I wrote
|-
|אַתָּה כָּתַבְתָּ || atah katavta || you (masculine) wrote
|-
|אַתְּ כָּתַבְתְּ || at katavt || you (feminine) wrote
|-
|הוּא כָּתַב || hu katav || he wrote
|-
|הִיא כָּתְבָה || hi katvah || she wrote
|-
|אֲנַחְנוּ כָּתַבְנוּ || anakhnu katavnu || we wrote
|-
|אַתֶּם כְּתַבְתֶּם || atem katavtem || you (masculine plural) wrote
|-
|אַתֶּן כְּתַבְתְן || aten katavten || you (feminine plural) wrote
|-
|הֵם כָּתְבוּ || hem katavu || they (masculine) wrote
|-
|הֵן כְּתַבְנָה || hen katavna || they (feminine) wrote
|}

Just like the present tense, some verbs have irregular patterns in the past tense. For example, the verb "to be" is irregular in the past tense:

{| class="wikitable"
!Hebrew !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|אֲנִי הָיִיתִי || ani hayiti || I was
|-
|אַתָּה הָיִיתָ || atah hayita || you (masculine) were
|-
|אַתְּ הָיִית || at hayit || you (feminine) were
|-
|הוּא הָיָה || hu haya || he was
|-
|הִיא הָיְתָה || hi haytah || she was
|-
|אֲנַחְנוּ הָיִינוּ || anakhnu hayinu || we were
|-
|אַתֶּם הָיִיתֶם || atem hayitem || you (masculine plural) were
|-
|אַתֶּן הָיִיתֶן || aten hayiten || you (feminine plural) were
|-
|הֵם הָיוּ || hem hayu || they (masculine) were
|-
|הֵן הָיוּ || hen hayu || they (feminine) were
|}

=== Future Tense ===

The future tense in Hebrew is used to describe actions that have not yet happened, but will happen in the future. To form the future tense in Hebrew, you usually add specific suffixes to the root of the verb. Let's take the root "k-t-v" (כָּתַב) from the verb that means "to write" as an example:

{| class="wikitable"
!Hebrew !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|אֲנִי אֶכְתּוֹב || ani ekhtov || I will write
|-
|אַתָּה תִּכְתּוֹב || atah tiktov || you (masculine) will write
|-
|אַתְּ תִּכְתְּבִי || at tiktvi || you (feminine) will write
|-
|הוּא יִכְתּוֹב || hu yikhtov || he will write
|-
|הִיא תִּכְתֹּב || hi tikhtov || she will write
|-
|אֲנַחְנוּ נִכְתּוֹב || anakhnu nikhtov || we will write
|-
|אַתֶּם תִּכְתְּבוּ || atem tiktvu || you (masculine plural) will write
|-
|אַתֶּן תִּכְתְּבֶנָה || aten tiktvena || you (feminine plural) will write
|-
|הֵם יִכְתְּבוּ || hem yikhtvu || they (masculine) will write
|-
|הֵן יִכְתָּבְנָה || hen yikhtavena || they (feminine) will write
|}

Just like in the past and present tenses, some verbs have irregular patterns in the future tense. For example, the verb "to do" is irregular in the future tense:

{| class="wikitable"
!Hebrew !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|אֲנִי אֶעֱשֶׂה || ani e'eseh || I will do
|-
|אַתָּה תַּעֲשֶׂה || atah ta'aseh || you (mascul
