RULES WE SAW IN 2016-2017
07/09/16
- most Hebrew words have a root of three letters. Many words that are related can be built with the same root.
- there is no verb TO BE in HEBREW in the present. It is simply implied. You do not say I AM TALL but you say I TALL.

Example:
יש לי ספר [yesh li sefer] –) ‘there is to me a book’ meaning: I have a book.
| יש לי |
[yesh li] |
I have |

[yesh leHa] (m)[yesh laH] (f) |
