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 |
