Questions & Answers about בקיץ הרחוב הזה תמיד צפוף, כי הרבה אנשים הולכים לים.
In Hebrew, the verb to be is usually not expressed in the present tense.
So:
- הרחוב הזה תמיד צפוף = This street is always crowded
Literally, Hebrew says something like:
- this street always crowded
But it is completely normal and grammatical.
In past or future, Hebrew does use forms of to be:
- הרחוב הזה היה צפוף = This street was crowded
- הרחוב הזה יהיה צפוף = This street will be crowded
In Hebrew, demonstratives like this usually come after the noun:
- הרחוב הזה = this street
- הבית הזה = this house
- האנשים האלה = these people
This is different from English, where this comes before the noun.
Also, the noun is usually definite:
- רחוב = a street
- הרחוב הזה = this street
So the normal pattern is:
- ה + noun + זה/זאת/האלה
