Binyan Pa'al

Binyan Pa'al – Group 3

Past Tense

In Pa’al 3, the easiest way to get to the past tense “kernel” is by

using present tense form. For example:

‫ קֹו ֶׁנה‬ ‫ִל ְקנֹות‬

We then change the sound pattern to match the name of the

Binyan – Pa’al:

…A…A…

To this basic “kernel” we add the corresponding suffixes, according
to the pronoun. As an example let’s use the verb:

to buy – ‫ִל ְקנֹות‬

‫ קֹו ֶׁנה‬ ‫ִל ְקנֹות‬

Pronoun  ‫ ּו‬ ‫ ה ֵהם‬ ‫ִהיא‬  ‫הּוא‬
Suffix
‫ּו‬+‫ ָתה *קנ‬+‫קנ‬ ‫קנה‬
Suffix  ‫ָק ָנה‬
‫** ָק ְנ ָתה * ָקנּו‬

* Notice what happens to the "‫ "ה‬at the end of the "kernel", as we add

different suffixes.

** For third person feminine – ‫היא‬, we usually use the form of third person,

masculine – ‫ הוא‬and add the suffix ‫ה‬. In this Binyan we insert the letter ‫ת‬

before the suffix ‫ה‬, because it is impossible to have two consecutive letters ‫ה‬.

Pronoun  ‫ ֶׁתם‬ ‫ַא ֶׁתם‬ ‫נּו‬ ‫ֲא ַנ ְחנּו‬ ‫ ְת‬ ‫ַא ְת‬ ‫ ָת‬ ‫ַא ָתה‬ ‫ ִתי‬ ‫ֲא ִני‬
Suffix

Suffix  ‫ ֶׁתם‬+‫*קני‬ ‫נּו‬+‫ ְת קני‬+‫קני‬ ‫ ָת‬+‫ ִתי קני‬+‫קני‬
‫* ְק ִני ֶׁתם‬ ‫ָק ִנית ָק ִנינּו‬ ‫ָק ִני ִתי ָק ִני ָת‬

*Notice the slight difference for ‫ַא ֶׁתם‬
