Perfect Verb (Completed Action)
The Perfect tense describes action that is complete - past actions.
Judean: SUFFIX attached to verb root. The subject is built into the suffix.
READING GOAL:
To recognize perfect verb suffixes and understand that the subject is contained within the verb.
English: Subject + Verb as separate words (I walked, he ate)
Judean: Verb Root + Suffix = one word containing both subject and action
The suffix tells you WHO did the action.
| Person | English | Suffix |
|---|---|---|
| 1cs | I | ืชื |
| 2ms | you (m) | ืช |
| 2fs | you (f) | ืช |
| 3ms | he | (none) |
| 3fs | she | ื |
| 1cp | we | ื ื |
| 3mp | they (m) | ื |
| 3fp | they (f) | ื |
