12:02 Are there any such examples of real life sentences where you use an adjective predicatively without making the noun definite? I mean, what would that even mean? If we want to make a statement about something, this something MUST have been introduced previously, right? I can't imagine making statements about undeclared subjects. And if this is really the case, then the language is pretty neat in this case, because it will then be unambiguous. 12:33 Precisely. And that's why I think it's kinda neat: it "knows" that the noun will be definite, so it breaks the agreement to show that we're not simply narrow our selection (by telling some more about this object's attributes), but that we're making a statement about it, by "complementing" it with just a regular indefinite adjective ;) 13:30 Is this somewhat similar to the trick called "apposition"? Like in this English sentence "My brother Charlie is a Unicorn" ;)
Hi Joy, I believe I was referencing our flashcard stories, which is a set of 16 graded reader Hebrew stories that teach 315 of our Picture Hebrew Flashcards. Right now the curriculum is still in beta version and only accessible in print for our Hebrew students, but we hope to publish it as a reading fluency course in 1-2 years. In the meantime, you can watch our students acting out the stories on our channel. They all begin with the title "Picture Hebrew Story."
Thanks for your teaching

The presente participle is the gerund ? And the past participle ?
What "text" are you referring to and where can I find it?
