Moving from Infinitive Form to Future Tense

‫ַל‬In this group we omit the infinitive form prefix , while

maintaining the sound pattern of the infinitive form:

...A...A...O...
‫ַל‬Instead of the we use prefixes corresponding to the pronouns.

As an example let’s use the verb to work – ‫ ַל ֲעבֹוד‬. Follow the arrows
to find the prefixes used for each pronoun.

to work - ‫ַל ֲעבֹוד‬

‫ַל ֲעבֹוד ← ֲעבֹוד‬

Pronoun  ‫א ַנחנּו ← ַנ‬ ‫היא ← ַת הּוא ← ַי‬/‫א ָתה‬ ← ‫* ֲאני‬
Prefix
‫עבֹוד‬+‫ַנ‬ ‫עבֹוד‬+‫ַי‬ ‫עבֹוד‬+‫ַת‬ ‫ֶא‬
Prefix  ‫ַנעבֹוד‬ ‫ַיעבֹוד‬ ‫ַתעבֹוד‬
‫ ֱעבֹוד‬+‫ֶא‬
‫ֶא ֱעבֹוד‬

As we add the corresponding suffixes, the ‘O’ sound disappears:

Pronoun  ‫ּו‬+‫ּו ֵהם ← ַי‬+‫א ֶתם ← ַת‬ ‫י‬+‫א ְת ← ַת‬
Prefix & Suffix
‫ּו‬+‫עבד‬+‫ּו ַי‬+‫עבד‬+‫ַת‬ ‫י‬+‫עבד‬+‫ַת‬
Prefix & Suffix  ‫ַתעבדּו ַיעבדּו‬ ‫ַתעבדי‬
