HSK 5 Prepositions (coverbs)
随着
As / along with (随着)
Structure 随着 + gradual change,consequence
随着 (suízhe) introduces a gradual change and says something else changes IN STEP with it: "as…, along with…". 随着时间的推移,他慢慢好了 = "as time went by, he slowly recovered". It comes at the start, usually takes 的 (随着…的发展/增长/提高), and pairs nicely with 越来越 or 逐渐 in the second clause.
Examples
- 随着时间的推移,他慢慢好了。
As time went by, he slowly recovered.
- 随着年龄的增长,他越来越成熟。
As he gets older, he becomes more and more mature.
- 随着经济的发展,生活越来越好。
As the economy develops, life keeps getting better.
