Let's take a look at what we have learned so far in the present tense.
Present Tense Affixes:
XoXeX (m. sing.): [5oMeR] (I, you, he, keep(s)).
XoXeXet (f. sing.): [5oMeRet] (I, you, she, keep(s)).
So we now know the masculine and feminine forms of the present tense. Now we move on to plurals. Don't be scared. I got good news for you. After the plurals that's it for the present tense. Yup after this you can pat yourself on the back and say you have a good understanding of the present tense in Hebrew! So here is the masculine plural form of the present tense.
XoXXim (m. pl.): [5oMRim] (we, you, they keep).
So it's pretty easy. Notice there are only two vowels! Here's a trick. Pronounce each vowel as you would in Hebrew O---I. Sounds like O---I as in Old English doesn't it? Picture a group of guys opening presents while drinking OE. Was that a helpful mnemonic? Moving on to some example sentences.
