אם תשלחי לי סיכום של השיעור, אקרא אותו בערב.

Because the sentence is addressed to one female.

• תשלחי = you will send / you send (future), said to a woman
• If you were speaking to a man, it would be תשלח
• If you wanted to include you explicitly, you could say אם את תשלחי..., but usually Hebrew just uses the verb form without the pronoun

So the verb itself tells you the person, number, and gender.

In Hebrew, the verb usually already includes that information.

• תשלחי already means you (feminine singular) will send
• אקרא already means I will read

That is why את and אני are not necessary here. They can be added for emphasis, but they are normally omitted.

This is a very common question. Hebrew works differently from English here.

In a normal real condition, Hebrew often uses:

• אם + future
• then another future verb in the main clause

So:

• אם תשלחי לי... אקרא...

is completely normal Hebrew.

A literal word-for-word English version might look like If you will send me..., I will read..., but natural English changes that to If you send me..., I’ll read it...

So this is a grammar difference between the two languages, not a mistake.

תשלחי is the 2nd person feminine singular future form of לשלוח = to send.

Breakdown:

• dictionary form: לשלוח
• root: ש-ל-ח
• ת- at the beginning often marks you or she in the future
• the ending here shows it is you, feminine singular

So אם תשלחי לי means if you send me.

אקרא is the 1st person singular future form of לקרוא.

Here it means I will read.

Breakdown:

• dictionary form: לקרוא
• א- at the beginning marks I in the future
• so אקרא = I will read

A useful note: לקרוא can mean both to read and to call in different contexts. In this sentence, because the object is סיכום = summary, the meaning is clearly read.

אותו means it or him for a masculine singular noun.

Here it refers to סיכום, and סיכום is masculine singular. So:

• סיכום → masculine singular
• therefore אותו = it

If the noun were feminine, you would use אותה instead.

For example:

• המחברת = the notebook, feminine
• אקרא אותה would be wrong, because you read a notebook less naturally, but grammatically אותה would match the feminine noun

The important point is that Hebrew object pronouns agree with the noun’s grammatical gender and number.

Because אותו already functions as the direct object pronoun by itself.

Compare:

• אקרא את הסיכום = I will read the summary
• אקרא אותו = I will read it

With a full definite noun, Hebrew often uses את:

• את הסיכום

But with object pronouns like אותו, אותה, אותם, you do not add a separate את before them.

Because the noun is not marked as definite.

• סיכום = a summary / summary
• הסיכום = the summary

So as written, the sentence most naturally means:

• If you send me a summary of the lesson, I’ll read it in the evening

In real conversation, context may make it feel more definite in English, but grammatically Hebrew has no ה here, so it is indefinite.

Yes, both are possible.

• סיכום של השיעור = summary of the lesson
• סיכום השיעור = the lesson’s summary / summary of the lesson

The version with של is very common in everyday speech and often feels a bit more explicit and conversational.

The construct form סיכום השיעור is also very natural and a little more compact.

So the sentence could also be:

• אם תשלחי לי סיכום השיעור, אקרא אותו בערב.

Both are good Hebrew.

בערב means in the evening or sometimes this evening / tonight, depending on context.

It comes from:

• ב = in / at
• ערב = evening

In the written form בערב, the ב is attached to the noun, which is very normal in Hebrew.

So:

• אקרא אותו בערב = I’ll read it in the evening

A simple transliteration is:

im tishlechi li sikum shel ha-shiur, ekra oto ba-erev

A few pronunciation notes:

• אם = im
• תשלחי = tishlechi
• אקרא = ekra
• אותו = oto
• בערב = ba-erev

Since modern Hebrew is often written without vowel marks, learners have to get used to recognizing forms from context.

Yes, the comma is natural because the sentence has two clauses:

• אם תשלחי לי סיכום של השיעור = if you send me a summary of the lesson
• אקרא אותו בערב = I’ll read it in the evening

You can also reverse the order:

• אקרא אותו בערב אם תשלחי לי סיכום של השיעור.

That is also grammatical. The meaning stays basically the same, though the emphasis shifts a little.

Sometimes, but it changes the nuance.

• אם = if
• כש = when

So:

• אם תשלחי לי... means the sending is conditional or uncertain
• כשתשלחי לי... means more like when you send me..., suggesting it is expected to happen

So the original sentence is correct if the speaker means if rather than when.
