Example sentence

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'.
