Lemmaδιδάσκω
Strong'sG1321

SIBI-P1 G1321-18

he was continually teaching

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IIA3,,S,). The imperfect denotes ongoing, repeated, or customary action in past time.
Rendering RationaleThe verb διδάσκω means "to teach" or "to instruct." The imperfect active indicative (3rd person singular) conveys ongoing or repeated action in past time, so "he was continually teaching" reflects both the instructional root meaning and the progressive, past aspect of the imperfect tense.
