they were giving
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing/repeated action), active voice, indicative mood, third person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The imperfect active indicative, third person plural, denotes ongoing or repeated action in past time. "They were giving" preserves both the root sense of transfer or granting and the continuous aspect of the imperfect tense. |
