After the last video some students asked me "but what happens when the first letter is a mem or a nun how can we distinguish these present tense verbs from the other binyanim? " . Great question. The answer is easy. I made a 5-minute video on it, https://youtu.be/05t5YKZZoyw (see below for more languages), but if you are in a hurry, here is the summary:
Yes, paal present tense always starts with the first letter of the root, that never changes.
But if you are confused - and don't I don't blame you, that happens easily in Hebrew - then you watch out for the second letter of the verb (not of the root, of the conjugated present tense verb). That second letter must be a vav. Otherwise, we are not in (regular) paal.
MULTILINGUAL VERB LIST
I prepared for you a list with paal verbs whose first root letter is a mem and a nun, respectively. Please download it from GoogleDrive.
