הנהגת בלמה, והגרר חילץ את המכונית וגרר אותה למוסך.

Yes. נהגת is the feminine singular noun for driver, and ה- makes it definite, so הנהגת means the female driver. The masculine form would be הנהג.

Because the subject is feminine, the verb also appears in a feminine form: בלמה.

בלמה is the past tense, 3rd person feminine singular form of לבלום = to brake.

So grammatically it means she braked or the female driver braked.

A learner may expect something closer to stopped, but בלמה specifically refers to braking. In context, that may of course lead to the car stopping.

It means and.

In Hebrew, ו- is attached directly to the following word, so:

• והגרר = and the tow truck
• וגרר = and towed

This is extremely common in Hebrew. English writes and as a separate word, but Hebrew usually attaches ו- to the next word.

This is a very common Hebrew issue: unpointed Hebrew often has words with the same spelling but different roles.

Here, context tells you which is which:

• הגרר has ה- in front, so it must be a noun: the tow truck
• וגרר אותה comes before an object, so it is clearly a verb: and towed it

They are also related in meaning. The noun גרר is a tow truck / towing vehicle, and the verb גרר means dragged / towed.

If fully vocalized, they would not look exactly the same in pronunciation.

Here הגרר means the tow truck.

In everyday Hebrew, גרר can refer to the towing vehicle, and sometimes by extension to a towing service. In this sentence, it is clearly the vehicle doing the action, so tow truck is the natural reading.

It is grammatically masculine singular, which is why the verbs that go with it are masculine singular: חילץ and גרר.

חילץ comes from לחלץ, which often means to rescue, to extricate, to free, or to pull out.

In this sentence, it suggests that the tow truck first got the car out of some problem situation, for example:

• stuck somewhere
• trapped
• disabled in a way that required assistance

So חילץ is not just towed. It is more like extricated / pulled the car out, and then the next verb גרר describes towing it away.

Because המכונית is a definite direct object.

In Hebrew, את marks a direct object when that object is definite, such as:

• with ה-: המכונית
• a proper name
• a possessive form
• certain pronouns

So:

• חילץ את המכונית = extricated the car

The word את is usually not translated into English. It is a grammatical marker, not a separate meaning like with here.

Both are possible, depending on context.

Hebrew object pronouns follow grammatical gender, not natural gender alone. Since מכונית is a feminine noun, the sentence uses the feminine singular object pronoun:

• אותה = her / it (feminine singular object)

Here it refers to המכונית, so in English we naturally translate it as it.

This is very normal in Hebrew: inanimate things still have grammatical gender.

Because אותה is already the direct-object pronoun form.

So Hebrew says:

• גרר אותה = towed it

You do not need an extra את in ordinary usage here.

A useful way to think of it is:

• את המכונית = direct object marker + noun
• אותה = object pronoun by itself

למוסך is ל + המוסך:

• ל = to
• המוסך = the garage / the repair shop

So למוסך means to the garage or more naturally to the repair shop.

Hebrew often combines the prepositions ל, ב, and כ with ה- into one word:

• ל + ה... → ל...
• ב + ה... → ב...
• כ + ה... → כ...

Also, מוסך in Israeli Hebrew usually means an auto repair shop or service garage, not a home garage attached to a house.

Yes, this word order is completely normal.

Modern Hebrew very often uses subject–verb–object order, especially in straightforward narration:

• והגרר חילץ את המכונית
• and the tow truck extricated the car

Hebrew can also use verb-first order in some contexts, but subject first is extremely common and natural here.

They are related, but not the same.

The sentence describes two separate actions:

1. חילץ את המכונית — the tow truck got the car out / rescued / extricated it
2. וגרר אותה למוסך — then it towed it to the garage

So the first verb describes solving the immediate problem, and the second describes transporting the car afterward.
