Progressive tenses denote ongoing actions. An Irish-like construction is used: the auxiliary ''bión'' is used (which carries the tense), and the lexical verb becomes ''at'' 'at' + infinitive, and the infinitive is put at the end of the clause. A direct object of the verb becomes the possessor of the verbal noun. For pronominal direct objects the unmarked possessive pronoun is used. | Progressive tenses denote ongoing actions.
