Identifying perfect verbs
We begin by learning to identify verbs with a perfect aspect. Later in this lesson, we will examine the meaning and significance of this aspect.
As noted on the previous step, we will only be using the qal stem (the most basic stem) at this point. Letters added to the root in order to create the different inflected forms have been placed in yellow to make them easy to spot. On the left-hand side of the chart, you can see a short-hand indicator of the person, gender and number.
