lessons 43 and 44

le'an ata halachta?



        ?לאן אתה הלחת               

this lesson introduces the second person singular past tense. It is deliberately short because I want to take it slowly: Just three verbs with examples. The grammar however is easy because the basics of the past tense have been covered in lessons 41 + 42. All you have to remember is, the second person singular masculine takes a -ta ending and the second person singular feminine a -t ending.
Seh ha kol - This is all.
