he walked

Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, perfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem expresses the simple active action of the root הלך, meaning to walk or go. The perfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates a completed action performed by "he," thus "he walked" preserves both root sense and morphology.
