Questions & Answers about היא נוסעת לעבודה באופניים רק כשאין גשם.
Why does נוסעת end in -ת?
Because it agrees with היא (she).
In the present tense, Hebrew verbs agree with gender and number:
- נוסע = masculine singular
- נוסעת = feminine singular
- נוסעים = masculine plural / mixed plural
- נוסעות = feminine plural
So with היא, you need נוסעת.
What exactly does נוסעת mean here?
It comes from the verb לנסוע, which means to travel, to go by vehicle, or to ride/go somewhere.
In this sentence, נוסעת does not have to mean she is literally in motion right now. Hebrew present tense often covers:
- she travels
- she goes
- she commutes
- she is traveling
Here it is best understood as a habitual action: she does this as a regular practice.
