Questions & Answers about תמיד אפשר להתייעץ עם המורה אם משהו לא ברור.

Why is there no explicit subject like you in this sentence?

Because Hebrew often uses an impersonal structure with אפשר to mean it’s possible, one can, or more naturally in English, you can.

So תמיד אפשר להתייעץ... is literally something like It is always possible to consult..., but idiomatically it means You can always consult...

This is very common in Hebrew when giving instructions, advice, or reassurance.

What exactly does אפשר mean here?

Here אפשר means possible / can / allowed, depending on context.

In this sentence, it means something like you can or it’s always possible to. It is not conjugated for person, so it works well in general statements.

Examples:

• אפשר לשאול שאלה = You can ask a question
• אפשר להיכנס? = May I come in? / Is it possible to come in?

So in your sentence, אפשר להתייעץ = it’s possible to consult / you can consult.

Why does the sentence start with תמיד?

תמיד means always. Putting it at the beginning is very natural in Hebrew and gives the sentence a reassuring tone:

תמיד אפשר להתייעץ... = You can always consult...
