00:00 - review
03:10 - first steps into Past and Future of the Hebrew verb!
05:03 - example from English that helps us understand the
►►► logic of Hebrew grammar –
►►► for the PAST we add an ending -ED,
►►► for the FUTURE we put WILL before.
►►► A memory clue – past is last, future is first.
07:54 - example for the verb "to learn" - ללמוד – לומד\ת
►►► Its' root letters are - ל.מ.ד
08:21 - for the PAST tense (past is last), we add different
►►► endings for different personal pronouns.
►►► For "we" - אנחנו- we add – …
►►► NU - ...נו So: למדנו LAMADNU – we studied
11:34 - for "I" -אני - we add – …TI - ...תי
►►► למדתי - LAMADETI – I studied
12:21 - practice
14:53 - לשאול – שואל\ת in the past.
►►► we asked – שאלנו - SHAALNU
15:13 - שאלתי I asked SHAALTI
15:40 - "to write" verb (לכתוב – כותב\ת) in the past
►►► כתבתי - I wrote – KATAVTI
16:18 - I read -קראתי – KARATI
16:49 - I thought – חשבתי – KHASHAVTI
17:20 - I liked – אהבתי AHAVTI
18:08 - I heard – שמעתי - SHAMATI
18:45 - I knew – ידעתי – YADATI
19:24 - we went – הלכנו – HALAKHNU
19:44 - I told\said – אמרתי – AMARTI
20:32 - to create the FUTURE we take the first letter (future is
►►► first) from the personal pronoun (the one who does the
►►► action) and put it in front of the root letters.
►►► For ANI – אני it's alef א
20:59 - I will study – אלמד– ELMAD
21:29 - I will ask - אשאל - ESH'AL
21:40 - I will read\call - אקרא – EKRA
25:07 - For ANAKHNU – אנחנו it's nun נ
►►► we will study - נלמד – NILMAD
26:45 - we will read - נקרא – NIKRA
27:00 - we will hear - נשמע – NISHMA
28:35 - future and the "weak letters"
"Weak letters" are somewhat "claustrophobic" :) They are having "panic attacks" when surrounded from both sides and they "run away" in such a case. That's exactly what happens when a verb with a root starting from a "weak letter" is put into the future tense – a letter should be added before the weak letter, it "feels surrounded" and – boink! – disappears. :)
(he) knows – יודע YODEA, I will know – אדע EDA
(he) sits - יושב - YOSHEV, I will sit – אשב- ESHEV
(he) walks - הולך - HOLEKH, I will walk - אלך - ELEKH

CONJUGATION
Some verbs to conjugate PLAY with!
In this game you drag verbs in their infinitive form to the groups they belong to - I, II or III.

How to recognise each group?
Group I is the group in which the verbs in present tense end with "zero ending" for a boy and with "-A" for a girl (גר - גרה).
Group II ends with "-E" or "-A" in present tense (rotsE - rotsA).
Group III has "zero ending" or "-eT" ending (לומד - לומדת).
