Verbal Morphology: I-Nun

Exercise Description

This part of the exam will test you over verb morphology with focus on the following parameters:

  • Verbal classes:
    • I-Nun
  • Verbal stems:
    • Basic: Qal, Nif‘al
    • Doubling-stem (“intensive”): Pi‘el, Pu‘al
    • H-stem (“causative”): Hif‘il, Hof‘al
    • Hit-stem (“reflexive”): Hitpa‘el
  • Verbal inflections:
    • Perfect/Qatal
    • Imperfect/Yiqtol
    • Vav-Consecutive/Wayyiqtol
    • Participle
    • Infinitives (construct, absolute)
    • Volitive (imperative, jussive, cohortative, etc.)
  • Verbs with suffix ending (pronominal) may also be included.

 

Important (Please read before proceeding!):

  • Hints: Remember some verbal forms may have more than one morphology (i.e. תִּכְתֹּב = both 3fs and 2ms). In that situation, a “Hint” will be provided to help you narrow down the correct choices. For example, if the “Hint” row shows Person ≠ 3fs, it means that the verb in the question is not third-person, feminine singular, so you will need to choose another option otherwise, it will be incorrect.
  • Imperfects/Yiqtols and Vav-consecutives/Wayyiqtols: When the “Text” row of the question shows an Imperfect/Yiqtol inflection of a verb, check to see if the MyView word (purple fonts) has a Vav-consecutive/Wayyiqtol, i.e., an Imperfect/Yiqtol verb with vav-consecutive attached to it. If so, then you must choose Vav-consecutive/Wayyiqtol as your answer.
    For example, if the Text row shows the Hebrew word יִכְתֹּב but the MyView shows וַיִּכְתֹּב the Vav-consecutive/Wayyiqtol option should be chosen instead of the Imperfect/Yiqtol.
  • Tense/Inflection: The answers for participles include the voice, i.e., participles (Qal, Nifal, Piel, Hifil, Hitpael) or passive participles (Qal passive participle, Pual, Hofal). Choose the best answer based on its stem.  
  • Qal passive perfect and imperfect tenses found in some textbooks and reference grammars are parsed as Pual and Hofal for this exam (e.g. יֻקָּ֔ח should be taken as a hofal form rather than a qal passive form). The Qal passive participle remains the same.
  • Do not select the “Something else” button for your answer, or it will be incorrect.
