Questions & Answers about אני מגיעה מוקדם, כלומר לפני שכולם נכנסים לחדר.
Why is the verb מגיעה and not מגיע?
Because the speaker is female singular.
In Hebrew present tense, many verb forms agree with the subject’s gender and number:
- אני מגיע = I arrive / I’m arriving (male speaker)
- אני מגיעה = I arrive / I’m arriving (female speaker)
So this sentence is being said by a woman or girl.
What tense is מגיעה?
It is the present tense form of the verb.
In Hebrew, the present tense can cover several ideas that English separates:
- I arrive early
- I am arriving early
- sometimes even a planned future, depending on context
So אני מגיעה מוקדם can mean either a general habit or something happening now / in the near future.
Why is it מוקדם and not מוקדמת, if the speaker is female?
