Example sentences

وَكَانَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِ، وَيَسْتَمِعُونَ مِنْهُ، وَيُمْلِي عَلَيْهِمْ،
Some people would visit him, listen to him, and he would dictate to them.
وَيُمْلِي — and he dictates. The wa- shifts the subject: after the visitors' actions, this 'and' turns attention back to the central figure, so the carried-in subject is 'he', not 'they'. The present-tense verb again falls under the habitual-past frame set by kana earlier, giving 'he would dictate'.
