Past tense verb

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ (And We gave them) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.

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

Verb form IV — causative

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ (And We gave them) uses form IV (أَفْعَلَ) — the أ at the start makes it causative ("to make someone do something").

We translate it as "to make [someone] do" or "to cause [action]".

Conjunction وَ (and)

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ (And We gave them) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

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