Example sentences

• وَيَغْسِلُ ثَوْبَهُ، وَيَطْبُخُ، وَيَسْتَقِيُ الْمَاءَ مِنَ الْبِئْرِ،

  He washes his garment, cooks, and draws water from the well,

  وَيَغْسِلُ — and he washes. The wa- adds this action to the running list of what he did alone. The verb is present tense with a built-in 'he' subject, and in this passage of daily routine it reads as habitual: the things he regularly did for himself. The conjunction simply strings these parallel chores together.
