SIBI-P1 G2064-19
he/she/it was coming
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἔρχομαι fundamentally denotes movement toward or arrival. The morphology (imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular) indicates an ongoing action in past time, so "was coming" preserves the continuous past aspect, while "he/she/it" reflects the third-person singular subject implied in the form. |
