Past tense verb

وَقَالُوٓا۟ (And they say) 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)

وَقَالُوٓا۟ (And they say) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

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

And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."
