Future Tense – General Structure
Imperative Form - ִצּוּוי
In English for the purpose of expressing verbs in their imperative
form, the core verb form is used.
For instance:
To return Return!
Example: Return the book!
To write Write!
Example: Write me an email, please.
Although there exists a specific imperative structure for the verbs in
Hebrew, a lot of times people in Israel just use verbs in their future
form for the purpose of expressing imperative condition.
For a negative sentence using the imperative, please note that the
equivalent for the English “Don’t” is ַאל.
לא ַאל
Example:
Go there! – !ֵת ֵלְך ְלׁ ָשם
Don’t go there! – !ַאל ֵת ֵלְך ְלׁ ָשם
In this study kit we will show examples of the imperative verb form

We will provide an explanation for the specific imperative form
structure in our more advanced study kit.
