auxilliary verbs
like rotzeh / rotzah and yachol / yecholah, tzarich / tzrichah are great when you start speaking Hebrew because they can combine with the infinitive of other verbs which you don't have to conjugate. I'll explain this later in more detail.
infinitives
we'll bring in the infinitives now. So far we concentrated on the present tense singular forms of verbs but the infinitives are very important too. especially because of their potential in combination with auxilliary verbs
you'll soon recognise infinitives easily by their form: they all start with ל = li / le / la
lalechet = to go/walk. lilmod = to learn. ledaber = to speak. to name just a few examples which will be discussed in more detail later.
yom rishon
Hebrew just counts the days of the week that's relatively easy but a bit confusing at first.
yom rischon = first day. For now just learn this one day. We'll do the ordinal numbers soon.
That's the ordinal numbers in English: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth ...
a new question today: matay? = when?
