Personal pronouns
I, you, he, she, we, you, they
Hebrew “you” and “they” have separate masculine and feminine forms. In everyday speech the feminine plurals אַתֶּן and הֵן are almost always replaced by the masculine אַתֶּם and הֵם.

There is no “to be” in the present tense: אֲנִי מוֹרֶה — I am a teacher. הוּא / הִיא sometimes serve as a copula: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם הִיא עִיר גְּדוֹלָה — Jerusalem is a big city.
