The Imperative Conjugation
• The Imperative is used primarily to express

also be used to grant permission or to
communicate a request. The Imperative

defend the cause of the weak.”

The Infinitive Conjugation
The Infinitive Conjugation
• In Hebrew, there are two Infinitive forms,
the Infinitive Construct and the Infinitive

have features in common with both verbs
and nouns. The Infinitive Construct is
commonly translated with the preposition
“to” plus a verb as in “to study” or “to
learn.”
