Questions & Answers about היא מעצבת אגרטל עם דופן גבוהה.

Why does the sentence start with היא?

היא means she.

Hebrew verbs in the present tense often already show gender and number, so מעצבת by itself can already suggest she designs / she is designing. Still, Hebrew often includes the subject pronoun for clarity or emphasis.

So:

• היא מעצבת = she is designing / she designs
• מעצבת alone can also mean is designing if the subject is understood from context

What form is מעצבת?

מעצבת is the feminine singular present-tense form of the verb לעצב, meaning to design or to shape.

A useful comparison:

• מעצב = masculine singular present
• מעצבת = feminine singular present
• מעצבים = masculine plural / mixed plural present
• מעצבות = feminine plural present

Because the subject is היא (she), the verb appears in the feminine singular form: מעצבת.

Does מעצבת mean designs or is designing?
