Past tense verb

وَقَالَ (But said) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.

We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.

Conjunction وَ (and)

وَقَالَ (But said) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

But the one who was freed and remembered after a time said, "I will inform you of its interpretation, so send me forth."
