Moving From the Infinitive Form into Present Tense


Until now we have studied the different infinitive forms of six verb
subgroups in Binyan Pa'al. Remember, although in the past tense* all of
these verbs have the same music..a..a.., the main difference between the
various subgroups is in the sound patterns of their infinitive forms.
* Note: The..a.. a.. sound refers to: Pa'al - Past tense, singular,
masculine, 3rd person.
When moving into the present tense, all six groups regain the same
characteristic sound o..e... (singular, masculine) thus making all of
them similar again.
Hear how similar the ..o..e sounds of the following verbs are in the
present tense, in spite of the tremendous differences in how they sound in
the infinitive form:

Subgroup 1

Subgroup 2

Infinitive

Present

Subgroup 3

Subgroup 4

Subgroup 5

Subgroup 6

(masc.)

Phonetic

LOMED OVED

HOLEKH YODEA OKHEL

SHOMEA

All we need to remember is that verbs with the characteristic sound


pattern ...o..e... in the present tense belong to Pa'al Group 1.
Now we will show several charts with verbs from various sub-groups in
the present tense.

The vowels in this structure in the present tense are...O...E
The difference between group 3 and group 1 is that group 3 verbs always
end with a letter in the present tense.

at the end of
the verb, but the vowel sound is changed to "ah" instead of "ai"
In group 3 for feminine singular we maintain the letter

For plural we add the ending for masculine and for feminine, but
we lose the previous last letter because we cannot have two
consecutive vowels
