More and more with 越来越 / 越…越…

Structure 越来越 + adjective · 越 + A + 越 + B

越来越 + adjective means "more and more…": 天气越来越热 = "it’s getting hotter and hotter". And 越 A 越 B links two changes in parallel: "the more A, the more B": 雨越下越大 = "the more it rains, the harder it falls". Two sibling patterns for progression.
