Days of the week, the verb 'to come', and a market of fruit and vegetables

The seven days, the verb לבוא in the past tense (by person) and in the present, guests (אורח), the question words eyze / eyzo / matai and today / yesterday / tomorrow, then a wide fruit-and-vegetable vocabulary built out from the produce list on the sheet.

VocabularyDays of the week

יְמוֹת הַשָּׁבוּעַ. The week is counted with ordinals: first day, second day, and so on. Shabbat has its own name.

FormsThe verb לבוא — present tense

A hollow verb: no consonant sounds between the ב and the א in the present.

FormsThe verb לבוא — past tense

The past conjugates by person, not by the gender-number grid of the present. The masculine בָּאתָ and the feminine בָּאת differ only in the final vowel. Note that בָּא (he came) and בָּאָה (she came) are spelled exactly like the present.
