Past tense verb
وَقَالَتْ (And she 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)
وَقَالَتْ (And she said) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
