Sentence from the book:
自転車がわたしに向かって迫ってきていた。
I started reading a light novel and although I got the meaning of the sentence with no problem (the bike was coming at her), and I know all the verbs in it I didn’t understand how the grammar works. I’ve never seen that many verbs in te form stacked on top of each other like that.
So I was wondering is that just a wording choice by the author? Could some of those verbs be left out and still mean the same thing? Is there a grammar point that covers cramming multiple te verbs together like that?
(I know if I want to get any reading done I really should just go along with the gist of it, but I can’t help but ask ‘why’ a lot :P)
