SIBI-P1 G1321-18
he was continually teaching
| Morphological Notes | Verb; 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 Rationale | The 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. |
