How do you form the past progressive with ALE? Is it TE + AP + ALE=TE PRALE or T APRALE?

Usually it's "t'ap prale"
And what you hear is "t'a prale" when people fuse the "p" at the end of "t'ap" with the "p" at the beginning of "prale".
Very often people get rid of the "e" at the end of "prale" and say: "t'ap pral"


Mwen t'ap pral Okap.
I was going to Okap.

Nou t'ap prale lekòl lè lapli te koumanse tonbe.
We were going to school when it started raining.

Ki kote ou t'ap prale lè m te wè w la?
Where were you going when I saw you?
