Helen Zhang (Chinese Teacher) says
We usually use it in the sentence structure “越来…越+adj. (yuè lái yuè…)” which is similar to the structure “comparative adjectives+and+ comparative adjectives” in English. For example: Shēng huó huì yuè lái yuè hǎo. 生活会越来越好。 Life will become better and better. Tiānqì yuè lái yuè rè. 天气越来越热。 The weather will become hotter and hotter. Can you make a sentence in Mandarin using this structure now?
