Yeah, and you have a continuous aspect with 着, right?
requiring figuring out the difference between 在 and 着, which I can understand for about five minutes at a time and then I lose track again...

(I'm so glad I already had to wrap my head around aspect to some degree when I learned English, because German doesn't have it at all ...)
and the thing is, they don't teach native speakers of English about aspect, I still only have the foggiest idea of it ;(
