Something that by this time you need really badly: online verb conjugators!
One of the best
(But be warned! They have all possible verb forms and they never tell you when a verb form is obsolete or uncommon):
http://www.pealim.com/

This one may seem dysfunctional, but it's not! When you click on a root that you want to see conjugated it will seemingly take you to a wrong word in many cases, but! It only means that this is the example word, and the root you've selected is conjugated exactly the same way.
http://www.verbix.com/languages/hebrew.shtml

This is a very neat one, the forms are correct and it has search in English as well as in Hebrew. The disadvantage is that it is not completely for free...
