Verbs in Hebrew include inside them the tense and person of the subject as well as the verb itself, so you have to define first the tense and person of the verb.
The simple form takes the person "he" and the tense "past": breathe (he breathed)- נשם [nasham].

BOY oh BOY THIS is complicated!
Usually it is the same as the root having the meaning of breath, blow or spirit, ru' ach So Ru' ach and Pneu' ma, have the same basic meaninWOOPS (PNEU'MA) GREEK
So they have the same basic meaning as breathe, but also have extended meanings beyond that.
Ru' ach and Pneu'ma can also mean vital force or wind, or ones spirit.
Another Hebrew word nesha-mah means breath, but it is more limited in meaning than ru' ach.
