Lesson 6 | About Verbs
Review
We have officially jumped into the deep end of verbs and you have not drowned! Before we continuing swimming in the deep end of Hebrew grammar, take some time to review what we have learned.
What we learned this lesson
Here’s what we learned this lesson about verbs:
- Verbs are the anchor of a language
- There are 5 parsing categories for standard verbs:
- stem the template of the verb
- aspect the angle of the verb
- person helps identify the verb’s subject
- gender helps identify the verb’s subject
- number helps identify the verb’s subject
- Hebrew aspect is different than English tense
- perfect aspect = viewed as complete
- imperfect aspect = viewed as in progress
- “Aspect informs tense, but does not dictate it.”
Israel Connection: Christian Youth Conferences
Jewish-Christian youth do not have it easy in Israel. They face rejection at school, and lack connection with other believers their age since there are often no other believing families in their neighborhood. In addition, the congregations they attend are small and have few other youth to fellowship with. For this reason, several organizations have been raised up by God to provide periodic conferences to strengthen young people in their faith.
