אם לא נצא מוקדם, לא נגיע לטיסה בזמן ונגיע למלון מאוחר.

Because Hebrew verbs already show the subject.

• נצא = we will leave / go out
• נגיע = we will arrive

So Hebrew usually does not need אנחנו unless you want emphasis or contrast. In English, you must say we, but in Hebrew it is often unnecessary.

They are actually future tense forms.

In Modern Hebrew, these are future forms built into the verb:

• נצא = we will leave
• נגיע = we will arrive

A very common thing for English speakers to notice is that Hebrew future forms do not use a separate word like will. The future meaning is built into the verb itself.

לא is the standard Hebrew word for not.

So:

• לא נצא = we will not leave
• לא נגיע = we will not arrive

Hebrew usually makes a future negative by putting לא directly before the future verb.

אם means if.

So the first clause:

• אם לא נצא מוקדם = if we do not leave early

This introduces a condition, just like if in English.

Because Hebrew usually does not need it.

English can say:

• If we don’t leave early, (then) we won’t get to the flight on time...

Hebrew works the same way: then is usually optional and often omitted. The conditional meaning is already clear from אם.

Here מוקדם means early.

It is basically an adjective, but Hebrew often uses adjectives in places where English would use an adverb.

So:

• נצא מוקדם literally: we will leave early

English speakers often expect a special adverb form, but Hebrew commonly uses the adjective form in this kind of sentence.

בזמן means on time or literally in time.

It is made from:

• ב־ = in / at
• זמן = time

Together, בזמן is a fixed expression meaning on time.

Hebrew does not need an article here because this is an idiomatic phrase. It is not really in the time; it simply means on time.

Because the verb להגיע normally takes the preposition ל־ (to).

So:

• נגיע לטיסה = literally we will arrive to the flight

That sounds a bit strange in English, but it is normal in Hebrew. In smoother English, you would usually say something like:

• we won’t make the flight on time
• we won’t get to the flight on time

So the Hebrew structure is natural even if the most natural English translation uses different wording.

For the same reason: להגיע usually goes with ל־.

• נגיע למלון = we will arrive at the hotel

So both of these follow the same Hebrew pattern:

• להגיע לטיסה
• להגיע למלון

English may translate them differently depending on what sounds natural, but in Hebrew the same preposition is used.

Because Hebrew often uses adjectives adverbially.

• מאוחר = late
• נגיע למלון מאוחר = we will arrive at the hotel late

Just like מוקדם in the first clause, מאוחר is functioning the way English would use an adverb.

This is a very common Hebrew pattern.

Because the sentence gives two consequences of not leaving early:

1. לא נגיע לטיסה בזמן = we won’t get to the flight on time
2. ונגיע למלון מאוחר = and we’ll arrive at the hotel late

The second result is not negative in grammar, even though the overall meaning is bad. So Hebrew uses a normal positive future verb there.

Sometimes in casual speech people may rely on context, but in a clear standard sentence it is very natural to repeat it.

So:

• לא נגיע לטיסה בזמן ונגיע למלון מאוחר

is clear and normal.

Repeating the verb helps make both consequences explicit. English often does the same:

• we won’t arrive on time and we’ll arrive late at the hotel

Yes, it is very normal.

The structure is:

• אם
  • condition
• result 1
• ו
  • result 2

So:

• אם לא נצא מוקדם = condition
• לא נגיע לטיסה בזמן = first result
• ונגיע למלון מאוחר = second result

This is a standard and natural Hebrew way to build a conditional sentence.

Their dictionary forms are:

• נצא → לצאת = to leave / to go out
• נגיע → להגיע = to arrive / to reach

This is useful because Hebrew learners often need to recognize verb forms that look quite different from the dictionary form.

For example:

• לצאת → נצא
• להגיע → נגיע

That kind of change is completely normal in Hebrew verb conjugation.

Because the first clause is a conditional opening clause:

• אם לא נצא מוקדם, ...

This is similar to English punctuation:

• If we don’t leave early, ...

The comma helps separate the condition from the result. In modern Hebrew writing, this is standard and natural here.
