בבוקר היא לוקחת את המברשת שלה, שוטפת את הידיים, ופותחת את הדלת.

Because it is really:

• ב־ = in / at
• הבוקר = the morning

When ב־ attaches to a noun with ה־, the ה usually disappears and the next letter gets strengthened. So:

• ב + הבוקר → בבוקר

It is pronounced ba-boker, meaning in the morning.

Hebrew often puts a time expression first to set the scene:

• בבוקר היא לוקחת... = In the morning, she takes...

This is very natural Hebrew. You could also move the time phrase later, but starting with it gives the sentence a clear time frame right away.

Once Hebrew has established the subject, it often does not repeat it in the rest of a series.

So this structure works like English:

• she takes..., washes..., and opens...

Also, in the Hebrew present tense, the verb form does not clearly show person the way past and future do, so היא helps identify the subject at the start.

Because the subject is היא, which is feminine singular.

In the present tense, Hebrew verbs agree with gender and number. These are feminine singular forms:

• לוקח → לוקחת
• שוטף → שוטפת
• פותח → פותחת

If the subject were he, you would get:

• הוא לוקח
• שוטף
• ופותח

It can mean either, depending on context.

Hebrew present-tense forms like לוקחת can cover both:

• she takes
• she is taking

In this sentence, because it sounds like a routine or sequence of actions, English will often translate it with the simple present: she takes..., washes..., and opens...

No. They are spelled the same without vowel marks, but they are different words.

Here, את is the direct object marker, pronounced et.

The pronoun you (feminine singular) is also written את, but pronounced at.

So context tells you which one it is. In this sentence, every את is the object marker.

It marks a definite direct object. It usually is not translated into English.

For example:

• את המברשת
• את הידיים
• את הדלת

All three nouns are definite, so they take את.

A good rule:

• use את before a specific/definite direct object
• do not use it before an indefinite one

Compare:

• היא פותחת את הדלת = She opens the door
• היא פותחת דלת = She opens a door

Because Hebrew possessive pronouns usually come after the noun:

• הספר שלי = my book
• החבר שלו = his friend
• המברשת שלה = her brush

Literally, it is closer to the brush of hers than to English word order.

With body parts, Hebrew often uses the definite article instead of an explicit possessive, when the owner is obvious from context.

So:

• היא שוטפת את הידיים

naturally means:

• she washes her hands

This is very normal Hebrew. You can be more explicit, but it is usually unnecessary here.

Because ידיים is one of the common Hebrew forms for things that come in pairs.

• יד = hand
• ידיים = hands

The ending ־יים is historically a dual ending, often used for natural pairs such as:

• עיניים = eyes
• אוזניים = ears
• רגליים = legs
• ידיים = hands

In modern Hebrew, these are basically treated like normal plural nouns.

Because Hebrew and is usually a prefix:

• ו־ = and

So:

• ופותחת = and opens

This is standard Hebrew spelling. The conjunction is attached directly to the following word, not written separately.

Because they are all definite nouns:

• המברשת שלה = her brush / the brush that is hers
• הידיים = the hands
• הדלת = the door

Hebrew uses ה־ for the. In this sentence, the objects are specific, not just any brush, hands, or door.

It can, but in modern everyday Hebrew, המברשת שלה is much more common and natural.

The one-word suffix style, such as מברשתה, is more formal, literary, or old-fashioned in many contexts.

So for normal spoken and standard modern written Hebrew, המברשת שלה is the form learners should expect most often.
