The binyan \u05e4\u05b8\u05bc\u05e2\u05b7\u05dc<\/span> is the most basic and simplest to understand conjugation to learn. It does not contain any special identifying markers other than the root letters. In most \u05e4\u05b8\u05bc\u05e2\u05b7\u05dc<\/span> conjugations, the stem consists of the sequence Co<\/strong>Ce<\/strong>C – \u05e4\u05bc\ufb4b\u05e2\u05b5\u05dc<\/span>. The vowels ‘o’ and ‘e’ are the stem vowels that help create most of the present tense forms.
\nLet's get started.<\/p>\n

First, we need a word<\/h3>\n

The word \u05dc\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05e7\ufb4b\u05d3<\/span> translates as "to dance". This is the infinitive form that you'll see most anywhere you see a listing of Hebrew vocabulary, or in a dictionary. Now, to begin conjugating this verb, we need to find the root. In this case we simply drop the infinitive prefix \u05dc\u05b4<\/span> and the vowel
\ncholam<\/em> \ufb4b<\/span>, to get the root: \u05e8-\u05e7-\u05d3<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Present Tense<\/h3>\n

We found our root to begin our lesson: \u05e8-\u05e7-\u05d3<\/span>, now we need to know how to use it. In the present tense of a pa'al verb, four forms are needed – masculine singular, masculine plural, feminine singular and feminine plural. Here’s a table showing how to make these four forms. Look at the verb form and see where the stem vowels fit in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

we dance<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n\u05d0\u05e0\u05d7\u05e0\u05d5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
you dance<\/td>\n \ufb4b \/

they dance<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n\u05d4\u05dd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

I tried to keep this table as easy to read as possible. Since the verb form is the same for the “\u05d0\u05e0\u05d9”, “\u05d0\u05ea\u05d4” and “\u05d4\u05d5\u05d0”, then I showed just the one instance to keep things looking neat. <\/em><\/p>\n

Now let's take a look at the feminine forms of the verb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Past Tense<\/h3>\n

To create the past tense (I danced, she danced, they all danced, etc<\/em>), here is what you need.
\nOne thing you will now notice, there are different stem vowels on each. So pay attention to them. Let's take a look at the masculine forms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
