Helping Verbs + Infinitive
‫ ׁ ֵשם ּפ ַעל‬+ ‫ּ ָפ ֳע ֵלי ֵע ֶזר‬

Before we start learning an infinitive form of a certain verb group, let’s
first get acquainted with very useful helping verbs. These helping verbs
will help you to easily and quickly create sentences with new verbs in
the infinitive form.

As in English, it is impossible to use the infinitive form of the verb without
the preceding “helping” verbs.
For instance, you cannot say “I to eat soup now”.
The correct way is “I want to eat soup now”.

The helping verb "want" ‫ רֹו ֶצה‬always comes in front of the infinitive form

of another verb. Let's first take a look at this verb in singular - male and

female.

Helping Verb "Want" - ‫רֹו ֶצה‬

English Singular Fem. Singular Masc.
Want

‫רֹוצה‬ ‫רֹו ֶצה‬

ROTZAH ROTZEH

And now let's see how the helping verbs are conjugated in the present tense
for singular and plural:

English Plural Plural Singular Singular
Want Fem. Masc. Fem. Masc.

‫רֹוצֹות‬ ‫רֹוצים‬ ‫רֹוצה‬ ‫רֹו ֶצה‬

ROTZOT ROTZIM ROTZAH ROTZEH

* If you already know some verb infinitives, write down a few sentences
with the helping verb ‫רֹו ֶצה‬.
