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.

وَيَسْتَمِعُونَ and they listen

Here wa- coordinates this verb with the previous one, stacking a second habitual action onto the first; both hang off the same earlier kana, so this too reads as 'they used to listen'. The -una ending again carries the 'they' subject. The conjunction is simply chaining parallel actions of the same group.
