Example sentence

فَلَمَّا رَأَتْنِي أَتَمايَلُ بِسُكْرِي،

When she saw me swaying, drunk,

أَتَمايَلُ I am swaying

A present-tense verb with the 'I' subject carried in its opening prefix, describing the swaying as ongoing. Placed right after 'she saw me', it works as a snapshot of the state she found him in, an action caught mid-motion, which is how Arabic shows simultaneous background action without a separate word for 'while'.
