Degree words also go with verbs: I very much regret it It bothers me a little It’s rubbing too muchThe pattern :‘I want tosneeze’43 Adverbs of time and place in the sentenceAdverbs of time and place can safely be placed in the same position as inEnglish: first, last or (for some time adverbs) right after the subject. Theonly difference this usually makes to the meaning is a nuance in emphasis. Now he’s asleep He’s now asleep He’s asleep now There I buy cloth I buy cloth thereUnlike English, Hebrew adverbs can also come between verb and object: (lit. ‘I buy there cloth’)44–9 EMBEDDED CLAUSES44 The pattern LÑ¬Ô¼Ð³ÌíÐñ íÓ®Òîþ ÌòÎê : ‘I want to sneeze’Many Hebrew verbs take an infinitive, just like English ‘want to’ – forexample, ‘want’, ‘refuse’, ‘try’: I want to sneeze73
Level OneIn fact, Hebrew commonly has an infinitive even where English has -ing: Sometimes they try sharing He insists on whistling He loves flying so he’s stopped fishing" Israelis do a lot of traveling overseas Drivers look very little to the sides45 The pattern ÑÔìÐñëÒî¬ : ‘It’s good to smile’Where English has ‘it is good [or other adj.] to . . .’, Hebrew often leavesout ‘it is’: It is dangerous to skiIt’s hard to restSimilarly for the construction ‘it’s good that . . .’: It’s good you’ve comeIt’s weird that he doesn’t have46 Reported thoughts and object clausesTo lead into reported statements, beliefs, feelings, etc., one generallyinserts , which is equivalent to ‘that’.
