Questions & Answers about היא לומדת בבית, אבל אני לומד במשרד.

Why is it לומדת with היא, but לומד with אני?

Because Hebrew present-tense verbs agree with the subject’s gender and number.

• היא לומדת = she studies / she is studying
• אני לומד = I study / I am studying said by a male speaker

So לומדת is feminine singular, and לומד is masculine singular.

How do we know that אני refers to a male speaker here?

The pronoun אני itself does not show gender. The verb does.

• אני לומד = I (male) study
• אני לומדת = I (female) study

So this sentence tells us that the speaker is male because it uses לומד.

Does לומד / לומדת mean study or am/is studying?

It can mean both.

Hebrew present tense usually does not distinguish between:

• she studies
• she is studying

So היא לומדת בבית can mean either she studies at home or , depending on context.
