The translation of 'האמא באה?' should be 'The mom comes?'. 'Is the mom coming?' would be 'האם האמא באה?'
To say "האם" is to be extra clear that you are asking a question but is not neccesary. So "האמא באה" means "is the mom coming?" האם האמא האב means "QUESTION is the mom comming?"
When one touches the Hebrew words Duolingo should put sound to those words, as with other languages in the App, but as in Duolingo the Hebrew has no sound when touching the words makes one want not to continue learning the language.
Eugene A (sandyepay), the problem is that Duolingo ignores punctuation, so your sentence appears to be declaratory instead of interrogatory.

Isn't that only in biblical Hebrew? Is an interrogative ה still used in literature?

Who can explain how the past tense is formed in Hebrew? Using this example? Thanks
Verbs of the KAL conjugation in גזרת נעו"י are looking similar in the present and past: Masculine הוא בא אתמול והוא בא היום : he came yesterday and he comes today Feminine היא באה אתמול והיא באה היום she came yesterday and she comes today
The difference is in the Nikkud but it is to advanced and irrelevant for now HTH :)
How can I progress whem my fone doesn't have the capability to download a hebrew keyboard? Frustrating.
