| "He walked down the road, kicking up dust as he went."
What is kicking and how is it rendered? I thought it might be "[and] (he was) kicking up dust as he went."

| Grammatically? was kicking (Imperfect Past). Both "kicking up dust" and "as he went" each have their own verbum.

| So it would be:
He walked[past simple] along the road, kicking[past imp.] up dust as he went[past imp.].

| And another question:
"I saw him die."
Ɛʃɪlɔmam towa talṱɔgəbami ɛb.
(I saw that he died.)
Yea or nay?
