For this reason, biblical narrative verbs give the impression that stories are being told from inside the action. Sadly, these verbs must be translated using past tense in English, as no form approximates this continuous action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Verbs in the biblical narrative form are the Bible's most prevalent.
