Maybe not. I understood it that the waw consecutive "changes" the
"tense"/"aspect" of the verb.

וַיִּקְרָא אֱלֹהִים לַיַּבָּשָׁה אֶרֶץ וּלְמִקְוֵה הַמַּיִם קָרָא יַמִּים
וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים כִּי־טֹֽוב׃
In this case the first "vayikra" would be perfectum because of the waw and
the second "kara" would also be perfectum ("normal" perfectum). The "wayar"
would be perfectum by the same logic. All of these acts are complete.
