LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksI come upon this construction from time to time:
“I'm a-walking in the rain”
“I went a-fishing”
Why is the letter “a” sometimes placed before the verb form “-ing”? Does it simply show that some people pronounce something like schwa there?

Please correct my mistakes if you can, especially article usage.
