To conjugate a paal verb in the past tense, start with the third person masculine singular. I am going to show you a table with all the conjugations, but you can pretend that we started it with only the fourth row filled in.
1 | סָגַרְתִּי | אני |
2 | סָגַרְתָּ | אתה |
3 | סָגַרְתְּ | את |
4 | סָגַר | הוּא |
5 | סָגְרָה | היִא |
6 | סָגַרְנוּ | אֲנַחְנוּ |
7 | סְגַרְתֶּם\ן | אתם\ן |
8 | סָגְרוּ | הם\ן |
Future tense is similar, but there is an additional rule. The rule is suffix deletes the vav. We begin again with the third person masculine singular.
1 | אֶסְגוֹר | אני |
2 | תִּסְגוֹר | אתה |
3 | תִּסְגְּרִי | את |
4 | יִסְגוֹר | הוּא |
5 | תִּסְגּוֹר | היא |
6 | נִסְגּוֹר | אנחנו |
7 | תִּסְגְּרוּ | אתם\ן |
8 | יִסְגְּרוּ | הם\ן |
In imperative we also have the rule of suffix deletes the vav.
1 | סְגוֹר | אתה |
2 | סִגְרִי | את |
3 | סְגְּרוּ | אתם\ן |
