Perfect of 3-weak verbs
The verbs, whose dictionary form (3rd, sing., masc.) ends with ה, are called 3-weak. That ה is not a part of the root, thus the root has two letters.
These verbs are declined as shown in the following example with the verb בנה:
| person | gender | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd | masculine | בנה | בנו |
| feminine | בנתה | ||
| 2nd | masculine | בנית | בניתם |
| feminine | בניתן | ||
| 1st | בניתי | בנינו |
