שלחתי את מספר המונה כמו שנציגת השירות ביקשה.

Because -תי is the usual past-tense ending for I with many Hebrew verbs.

So:

• שלחתי = I sent
• root: ש־ל־ח
• base idea: send

A few related forms:

• שלחתי = I sent
• שלחת = you sent (masculine singular)
• שלחת = you sent (feminine singular; same spelling without vowels)
• שלח = he sent
• שלחה = she sent

So the ending -תי is the key clue that the speaker is saying I sent.

את marks a definite direct object.

In this sentence, the thing being sent is מספר המונה, and that noun phrase is definite, so Hebrew uses את before it.

Important points:

• את does not mean with here
• it usually has no direct English translation
• it simply marks the object of the verb when that object is definite

So in שלחתי את מספר המונה, את tells you that מספר המונה is the thing that was sent.

Because Hebrew often prefers a construct chain called סמיכות.

מספר המונה literally means the number of the meter, but in natural English you would usually say the meter number.

In a construct chain:

• the first noun is put into a linked form
• the second noun tells you what it belongs to or is associated with

So:

• מספר המונה = the meter’s number / the meter number

Hebrew often uses this pattern instead of a longer של phrase.

This is a key feature of the construct chain.

In סמיכות, the first noun normally does not take ה־. The definiteness of the whole phrase is usually determined by the second noun.

So:

• מונה = meter
• המונה = the meter
• מספר המונה = the number of the meter / the meter number

Because המונה is definite, the whole phrase מספר המונה is definite. That is also why it can be preceded by את.

That is another construct chain.

The basic noun is:

• נציגה = female representative

In construct form, it becomes:

• נציגת

Then:

• השירות = the service

So:

• נציגת השירות = the service representative

More literally, it is something like representative of the service, but in natural English service representative is the best match.

Because feminine nouns ending in -ה often change form in a construct chain.

So:

• standalone form: נציגה
• construct form: נציגת

This is very common in Hebrew. A few similar patterns are:

• מורה → מורת
• מנהלה → מנהלת
• נציגה → נציגת

So נציגת השירות is the normal construct form meaning the service representative.

Because it agrees with its subject, נציגת השירות, which is feminine singular.

In the Hebrew past tense, verbs agree with the subject in gender and number:

• ביקש = he asked
• ביקשה = she asked
• ביקשו = they asked

So:

• נציגת השירות ביקשה = the service representative asked

The feminine ending -ה in ביקשה matches the feminine subject.

Here כמו ש־ means as or the way that.

Breakdown:

• כמו = like / as
• ש־ = that / which / introducing a clause

Together, כמו ש־ introduces a clause meaning:

• as
• the way
• just as

So:

• כמו שנציגת השירות ביקשה = as the service representative asked

Because ש־ is a prefix in Hebrew, not usually a separate word.

So שנציגת is really:

• ש־ + נציגת

This attached ש־ is extremely common in Hebrew and can mean things like:

• that
• which
• who

or be part of combinations such as:

• כמו ש־ = as
• בגלל ש־ = because
• אחרי ש־ = after

So it is normal that it is written directly onto the following word.

Yes, very normal.

The sentence is built as:

• main clause: שלחתי את מספר המונה
• subordinate clause: כמו שנציגת השירות ביקשה

This is a common pattern in both Hebrew and English:

• statement first
• extra clause after it

So the structure is straightforward and natural.
