Hi Daniel,

Thanks for posting your question!

This is a good case to see how English and Hebrew prepositions often don't match and require a little bit of intuition to understand.

In Hebrew, the verb "לצפות" (to watch) goes together with the preposition "בּ" ("be" or "ba").

There are not easy guidlines for this, and just for example, the close verb "to see" (לראות) works with a different preposition - 'et' (את).

I hope that helps,

Hi, why do we use “ba” before television for “the” instead of “ha”?

Hi Shelley,

That is correct :)

Is there a review audio? I meant the review where you type in the vocabulary. But thank you for fixing anything that needs to be fixed.

Hello Shelley,

We're fixing the Review audio as soon as possible.

We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Please stay tuned.

Sincerely,

I think you misunderstood. The lesson review doesn't specify whether the verb or noun is the expected answer for "shower". Please let the editors know to fix this confusion. Thank you.

Shalom, So in my sentences. I only left out the "tav" for the present tense of to wash and then the rest is correct for present and past? Thanks for your help.

Hi Shelley,

Sorry for all the trouble, let's try and make things clear :)

מקלחת is "a shower", The verb is להתקלח, and therefore אני מתקלחת הוא מתקלח and so on

אמבטיה is "a Bath" and it's matching verb is להתרחץ (btw - also for the sea or a lake - everywhere that the whole body is covered completely by water) and therefore - אני מתרחצת, הוא מתרחץ and so on.

Hope it helps :)

Please differentiate between the showers, noun and verb, in the review.

I shower/showered in the shower in the morning and bathe/bathed in the bathtub at night. אני מתקלחת / התקלחה במקלחת ( I am basically guessing on the verbs-please help) בבוקר ואני מרחצת/ התרחצה באמבטיה בלילה
