Lesson Plans for Introduction of Suffixes
Lesson 1: Review singular ‫ של‬conjugation in Hebrew language lessons ,‫שלך‬, ‫ שלך‬,‫ שלי‬etc. with clothing
items.
Lesson 2: Introduction to Singular Pronouns.
Lesson 3: Introduction to Plural Pronouns.
Lesson 4: Concept of ‫ שיכות‬and the concept of a suffix with the noun ‫ –אהלי‬hide the
‫ ה‬and ‫ של‬underneath – ask students if they recognize coloring of ending – ask them to show
you where the noun ends – then unfold what is hidden – ‫ אהלי‬is ‫האהל שלי‬. Explain how in the
same way that prefixes are letters that come before words, suffixes are letters that come after
words – look at the examples of ‫שלך‬/‫שלך‬. Explain that these are belonging to suffixes they
explain who the noun belongs to.
Lesson 5: Introduction to the chaf family. Review the versions of ‫שלך‬/‫שלך‬/ ‫ שלי‬and then introduce the
‫ שלכם‬and ‫ שלכן‬examples – ask students what letters they all have in common – shin, lamed
and chaf – these are then classified as the chaf family and all mean ‘your’.
Lesson 6: Introduce singular pronoun suffixes with their pronoun partners and the preposition ‘‫’ל‬.
Introduce the concept of whether the pronoun or pronoun suffix is used in the sentence.
Compare with English grammar – She goes with she / or she goes with her – if the pronoun
comes after a preposition or verb in a sentence, the other form of the pronoun is used. In
Hebrew pronoun suffixes are used after prepositions and verbs as well.
Lesson 7: Comparison of Possessive Adjective Suffixes and Pronoun Suffixes - Bring out the ‫אהלך‬
example with noun symbol above noun - review what this means - your tent. Then bring out
preposition ‫ ל‬and symbol as well as pronoun suffix and review what this mean - to you. Ask
them about the similarity of the endings - and clarify that the suffix attached to the noun tells
you that something belongs to a person and clarify that when you don't have a noun with a
suffix it is simply a pronoun.
Lesson 8: Introduction to plural pronoun suffixes with their pronoun partners and the preposition ‘‫ ’ל‬or
‘‫’ב‬.
Lesson 9: Complete Suffixes Miniature Grammar Boxes with Pronoun Suffixes and Preposition
combinations ‫ לך בנו‬etc or singular Possessive Adjectives and noun combinations - students
practice differentiating between the two types of suffixes (Option for Prefix and Suffix
combinations and miniature suffix grammar boxes).
Lessons 4 -10: Reinforcement when breaking down language of the humash in humash groups to
distinguish between the two types of suffixes.

The ‫ את‬and Pronoun Suffixes Lesson
In this lesson about ‫ את‬and Suffixes we see how the term ‫ את‬combines with the pronoun suffix to mean just the
pronoun itself.
First ask the students to review the pronouns. Then ask them to match up the pronoun suffixes with the
pronouns.
Ask the students – “How do I say I need you?”
They may answer – ‫אני צריך אתה‬
Then ask, “what happens when we have a pronoun that comes after a preposition or verb in a sentence?”
If they remember they might say
‫אני צריך ך‬. You could then say wait but a pronoun is a direct object so
what do I need before the ‫ ך‬they will say ‫את‬. So on the rug they now see ‫אני צריך את ך‬.
The teacher then says “hmm if I can’t have a suffix standing alone and ‫ את‬is a preposition. What do you think
could happen?”
Demonstrate their connection and ask them to read it for you ‫אתך‬. Then show them how it is really spelled ‫אותך‬.
Go over other versions of the ‫ את‬and pronoun suffix options.

‫ שיכות‬and ‫את‬
In the same way in which we saw the hiding ‫ של‬in the combination of the noun and possessive adjective
suffixes – we also see this example of hiding with ‫ את‬in the combination of nouns and pronoun suffixes.
First the word ‫ ך‬/ ‫ יברכ‬is laid out on the rug. (The ‫ הוא‬and ‫ אותך‬are hiding underneath)
The teacher asks the student to read the work and asks what tense it is. The teacher then asks which pronoun of
the future tense it is. The ‫ הוא‬is drawn out from underneath.
The teacher then asks what the translation of the suffix is at the end of the word.
The teacher then asks if we know that this means ‫ הוא יברך ך‬- and the suffix cannot stand alone which
preposition do you think this pronoun suffix connects with if it is talking about a direct object?
Therefore we know that this means
‫ הוא יברך אותך‬and the teacher draws out the ‫ אותך‬card from underneath.
The students are then told that ‫ את‬always underneath the verb and the suffix tells us which form of ‫ את‬is hiding.
