This drill covers all major Qal Imperative forms introduced in BBH Chapter 18. Students parse 35 forms across three parts: Part A focuses on strong roots (A-class and B-class), Part B targets weak-root imperatives across seven root classes (I-י, III-ה, Biconsonantal, I-נ, I-aleph), and Part C requires disambiguating Imperative from Imperfect and Jussive forms — including negative command constructions with אַל.
