==Active participle of 3-weak verbs==
3-weak participles are declined like this:
{| class="grammar"
! !! singular !! plural
|-
| masculine || בנה || בנים
|-
| feminine || בנה or בניה || בנות
|}
==Perfect of empty verbs==
The verbs having ו or י as the second letter in the three-letter root are called empty verbs, because this ו or י is omitted in certain grammatical forms. (Some grammarians consider these as having two letter roots. According to Victor Porton, it is more convenient to consider them as three-letter roots because we need to distinguish between ו and י.)
The perfect of empty words is formed similar to perfect of regular verbs but with two letters (the first and the last letter of the root) instead of the full root.
In imperfect the second letter of the root is not omitted. Before the suffix נה in imperfect of empty verbs sometimes is added the letter י.
In participles of empty verbs the second letter of the root is omitted.
