for the female, هما in the past tense we add (Taa) at the end of the verb, for example: Huma akalata
for the masculine, هنا in the past tense, we add (a) at the end of the verb, for example: Huma akala.
with verbs that are هما feminine we add the letters تا to the end of the verb for example: هما ذهبتا الى البنك. by contrast with هما masculine, we add an alif to the end of the verb for example: هما ذهبا الى البنك
