📣 FEMININE PL. FUTURE TENSE HAS BECOME OBSOLETE IN MODERN HEBREW
WEAK VERBS
There are 7 letters that make verbs weak in Hebrew. They are the 4 Gutterals א, ה, ח, ע, the two semi-vowels ו & י and lastly נ. So there are 12 categories of weak verbs.

GUESS What? Modern Hebrew does not conjugate Geminate verbs differently. You know what that is? It's a verb where one of the letters in the consonantal root doubles such as סבב-to turn. Modern Hebrew sees this as nothing special so you would conjugate it exactly the same as you would a STRONG verb. So nothing here to memorize. Aren't you glad you caught a break? Now in biblical Hebrew such verbs do have their own specific pattern or template. This is what I mean by modern Hebrew being easier. It's a whole lot easier!

Like Geminate verbs I-NUN verbs in modern Hebrew are identical to STRONG verbs. So nothing to memorize here either. See the verb נדב. So easy!
