Questions & Answers about היא אומרת שהמבחן לא היה קשה, אבל היא עוד לא יודעת איזה ציון תקבל.
Why is it היא אומרת and not היא אמרה?
אומרת is present tense: she says / is saying.
- היא אומרת = she says
- היא אמרה = she said
So the sentence is framed from a present-time point of view: She says that...
Because the subject is היא (she), the present-tense verb has the feminine singular form אומרת.
What does the ש־ in שהמבחן mean?
Here ש־ means that.
So:
- היא אומרת שהמבחן לא היה קשה = She says that the test wasn’t hard
This ש־ is very common in Hebrew. It attaches directly to the next word instead of standing alone.
A useful breakdown is:
- ש־ = that
- המבחן = the test
Together: שהמבחן = that the test
Why is it שהמבחן as one word instead of two separate words?
