The Hebrew Verb
Verbs have the same function in most languages; they are the part of speech
that express action, existence, or occurrence. In Hebrew, most verbs are
structured via a consonantal three-letter skeleton, called the root, which is
applied unto up to seven (discontinuous consonantal) patterns, called the stem.
The verbs are also classified according to five categories, one of which
includes some “modern” verbs structured via a consonantal four-letter skeleton.
The way a verb appears in a sentence depends on its root and stem, as well as
on its category and conjugation by tense and pronoun (which includes gender
and quantity).

The Hebrew Verb (cont’d)
Hebrew verbs fall into five major categories [(gizROT) ‫]גִ זְ רוֹׁת‬. Their appearance
in conjugated forms is affected by the category [(gizRAH) ‫ ]גִ זְ ָרה‬to which the verbs
belong. For the purpose of this class, this particular grammatical concept will not
be pursued in detail, except to list the five major categories and show an example
[(dugMAH) ‫ ]דֻּ גְ מָ ה‬of such a verb in each category, along with its root and infinitive.
Categories - ‫גִ זְ רוֹׁת‬

to request
