65.1 The lesson

Shalom haverim,

Today we’re starting our third binyan in the past tense: hifil.

We love hifil — it has just one category, and includes many super useful and familiar verbs you probably already know!

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to identify hifil verbs, recognize their structure in the past tense, and conjugate them with ease. You’ll see just how practical this binyan is in everyday Hebrew.

To follow along and complete all the exercises, please open your books to pages 54–58.

Let’s jump in!
