SIBI-P1 G1125-05

he/she was writing

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood; 3rd person singular. The imperfect denotes continuous or repeated action in past time.
Rendering RationaleThe verb γράφω carries the concrete sense of inscribing or recording in writing. The imperfect active indicative (3rd person singular) expresses a past ongoing or continuous action, hence "was writing," preserving both the durative aspect and the active voice of the Greek form.
