An t-aogas leantainneach

The continuous aspect

We learned about aogas (aspect) in Cuspair 1 and Cuspair 11.

Fhad ‘s a bha mi a’ dràibheadh, bha mo nighean a’ cadal.While I was driving, my daughter was sleeping.

Let’s look here at how we express continuous aspect.

This continuous aspect can also be expressed in the passive voice:

Bha milleadh ga dhèanamh.

Damage was being done.

Bhathar ag aontachadh còrdadh ùr.

A new agreement was being agreed.

DÈ DO BHEACHD?/DÈAN COMHRADH

Dè tha ga dhèanamh gus ar beatha a dhèanamh nas so-sheasmhaiche?

What is being done to make our lives more sustainable?

A bheil connaidhean-fosail fhathast gan cleachdadh?

Are fossil fuels still being used?

A bheilear a’ leasachadh chumhachdan ath-nuadhachail mar bu chòir?

Are renewable energies being developed properly?

An robhar a’ call ùine eadar COP21 nuair a chaidh Còrdadh Pharas aontachadh agus COP26 nuair a chaidh an còrdadh ùr a lagachadh?

Was time lost between COP21 when the Paris Agreement was approved and COP26 when the new agreement was weakened?
