Introduction to Prepositions Track 15

Combining preposition
with a pronoun

Second column of the following chart shows the general conjugation
structure.

In Hebrew, prepositions can be directly connected in writing to pronouns
creating one combined word. The endings of these combined words are
the same for all prepositions corresponding to the pronouns.

‫ׁ ֶשל‬Let's take the preposition . It means "belong to", "of" and the
‫ְל‬preposition (to). These prepositions are conjugated in Hebrew

according to the pronoun by adding certain corresponding suffixes related
to the pronoun.
