shalom camille,
concerning an answer-key for weingreen:
>There is one in French, but as far as Hebrew is concerned, no problem
>n'est-ce pas ?
>J. Weingreen : Hebreu biblique, methode elementaire : corriges des
exercices
but what if many of the sentences in weingreen are not a biblically-styled
hebrew? the bible does not say halax ha-ish. (so frequent a pattern in
weingreen)
but
ha-ish halax.
perhaps weigreen didn't appreciate vX-qatal structures? his exercises may
end up hiding biblical style from his students. (see Bodine,ed.,
1995:77-102, article on functional grammar.) which becomes a new challenge
for teachers.
