This is the second of two quizzes on Biblical Hebrew Weak Verbs.
The quizzes in this course help you review the II-ו\י, III-י, and II-III weak verbs. We have collected 446 quiz questions. You are asked to identify the correct root, stem, conjugation, person, gender, and number from a number of possible options. Only one answer is correct!
You are strongly encouraged to use your lexicon and other resources like verb paradigms.
There is a second Quiz covering the I-נ, I-Guttural, II-Guttural, III-Guttural, I-י weak verb groups. Look for “Biblical Hebrew Weak Verbs Quiz I”.
You know how important it is to recognize the elements that constitute a Hebrew verb (root and pattern) in order to find the verb form in a paradigm and in a lexicon.
During your studies of Biblical Hebrew, you have come across the basic verbal system (stems: Qal, Nifal, Piel, Pual, Hitpael, Hifil, Hufal; conjugations: Qatal, Yiqtol, Imperatives, etc.) At first, you met the regular patterns that use a strong root (e.g. כָּתַב). Thereafter, the weak roots entered the picture. As you know, they are found in the same stems and conjugations as the strong roots, but behave differently, because at least one root consonant is weak, which leads to alterations to the regular picture (e.g. dropping of a root letter, changing of the consonant nun into a strong dagesh, vowel changes around gutturals, etc.). You studied the weak verbs closely and systematically and acquired the diagnostic tools with which to parse verbs. However, and I am saying this from personal experience as a Biblical Hebrew teacher, students struggle with the identification of weak verbs long after having completed a course on them.
Take this quiz to:
- Improve recognition skills of Hebrew weak verbs
- Review weak verbs
- Test yourself
- Gain confidence in your parsing abilities
- Prepare for an upcoming exam
- Revisit the Hebrew paradigms and the Hebrew lexicon
