Questions & Answers about קראתי את ההוראה עוד פעם, כי לא הבנתי אותה.
את marks a definite direct object in Hebrew.
In קראתי את ההוראה, the thing being read is the instruction, and it is definite because of ה־ (the), so Hebrew uses את.
A very common pattern is:
- קראתי ספר = I read a book
- קראתי את הספר = I read the book
So here:
- קראתי = I read
- את ההוראה = the instruction
Both are past tense, first person singular: I did something.
- קראתי = I read
- הבנתי = I understood
The ending ־תי is a very common past-tense ending meaning I.
Examples:
- כתבתי = I wrote
- אמרתי = I said
- למדתי = I studied
So the sentence is describing two past actions:
- I read the instruction again
- I did that because I didn’t understand it
