 * We have learned the prefixes attached to Hebrew words: the definite article, the conjunction "and", the prepositions "to, from, in", and the combination of the prepositions "to" and "in" with the definite article.
 * You can pluralize a noun or an adjective by adding for masculine and  for feminine, though we did not elaborate. Again, there are exceptions.
