In Biblical Aramaic, the Pe'al stem is the simplest of all the verbal
:ref:`stem formations<stem>` in both form and function. All the other stem formations are
derived from the Pe'al form. It is the most common form of a
:ref:`verb<verb>`,
and it almost always expresses either simple action in :ref:`active<stem-voice-active>` voice (for
:ref:`dynamic<verb-dynamic>` verbs) or stative action in :ref:`passive<stem-voice-passive>` voice (for :ref:`stative<verb-stative>` verbs,
which do not have active voice). In English, stative verbs require the
helping verb "to be" for proper translation value (see example). In
Biblical Aramaic, the stative nature of the verb is indicated by the verb
itself without requiring any additional helping verbs.
