29/11/17 – HEBREW VERBS

Verbs have a core of 3 ‘root letters’. There are 7 groups of verbs.

 

29/11/17 – A first group verb

1st Group (‘PAAL’) – regular verb

1st group verbs are usually used to express a simple action.

Example:   LEERKOD = To dance

The L at the beginning means ‘to’

The root letters are R K D – these letters always stay; what goes around the 3 letters depends on who dances and when.
