This packet includes worksheets that teach the basics of verbs in general and Hebrew verbs in particular. It includes an answer key with additional information for the teacher.

These worksheets cover the following topics:

• What grammar is
• How English and Hebrew grammar are similar and different
• What a verb is (in particular, an "action" verb)
• How verb forms can change depending on "person" (i.e. who is doing the action)
• Hebrew vowel patterns and how they encode meaning
• The concept of "shoresh" (Hebrew word roots)

The worksheets include the following activities to help students practice:

• Naming examples of English verbs
• Identifying English verbs
• Noting the differences between verb forms in English
• Identifying a shoresh (word root) shared by a collection of Hebrew words
• Recognizing a shoresh in unfamiliar Hebrew words
• Translating from Hebrew to English and vice versa using a list of unfamiliar word roots and knowledge of vowel patterns

This packet is part of a series of lessons that teach children Hebrew grammar in a clear and organized way. Grammar concepts are broken down into small, digestible chunks and explained on an age-appropriate level. The purpose of this series is to teach fundamental grammar and all the skills required for translation. Students will progress through levels of guided practice with the eventual goal of translating whole sentences on their own.

This series assumes basic proficiency in Hebrew reading. Before beginning this series, students must know all the consonants and vowels of the Hebrew alphabet and be able to read whole words.

On the other hand, this series assumes no prior experience with grammar concepts or terminology. All grammatical terms are explained in age-appropriate language.
