Chapter 29 — Hophal Weak

Full Screen (Interactive) Print / PDF Markdown

BBH Chapter 29 · Hophal Weak Verbs

A 25-item drill covering all eight weak-root classes. For each Hophal form, students (1) give the active Hiphil/Piel/Qal meaning and (2) translate the Hophal passive form in context. Reinforces the core principle that the Hophal passivizes its active causative or factitive counterpart, and builds facility with the prefix vowels of each weak class.

Classes represented: I-י/ו, Biconsonantal, III-ה, I-נ, I-guttural, III-ח/ע, III-א, Geminate.
