Comparatives to express continuing change
•
Comparative of gradation or double comparative: two comparatives of the same adjective connected by and. This structure is generally used with the verbs get, grow and become and it implies constant change. (In Spanish it translates as “cada vez más...”) •
-er and -er: It’s growing darker and darker. I’m getting fatter and fatter.
•
more and more: This situation has become more and more difficult. Note that when we use more and more we don’t repeat the adjective or adverb.
•
less and less: Fortunately, her headaches became less and less frequent, until they ceased altogether.
