I understand that "na" can put a sentence in the past tense, however, it seems to me that there is an extra "na" or "a" in the following sentences. What is the difference in what is communicated in the first set of sentences and the sentences that follow?
1.

na ɔrekorɔ - he was going
na - focus marker...usu translated as "it is"
a - who/that (relativizer)
