SIBI-P1 G2064-41

I was coming

Morphological NotesVerb, imperfect tense, middle voice (deponent with active meaning), indicative mood, first person singular. The imperfect indicates continuous or progressive action in past time.
Rendering RationaleThe verb ἔρχομαι fundamentally denotes movement toward a point—"to come" or "to go" depending on perspective. The imperfect tense expresses ongoing or repeated action in past time, and the middle (deponent) form carries active meaning; thus "I was coming" reflects first person singular, imperfect, middle indicative—an ongoing past movement initiated by the subject.
