Continuative aspect (sometimes called "progressive") denotes an action that is ongoing or repetitive. Continuative aspect is usually marked both by a preverbal particle "nà" (low tone) and by a change of the verb form. The verb "sɛ́", "go" used in the sentences below has the continuative form "síé". In sentences where both past tense particle "ná" and continuative particle "nà" are present, they combine to give the fused particle "náà". In sentences in the recent past tense, the preverbal continuative particle is omitted and continuative aspect is shown only on the verb.
