Lesson

The More… The More (越…越…)

1. Explain it simply

越 A 越 B means 'the more A, the more B' - two things rise together.

Put 越 before each part: Subject + 越 + A + 越 + B.

A can be a verb or adjective; B is an adjective for the result.

Both 越 are needed; don't drop one or move it to the end.

2. Show examples

我越忙越累。

Wǒ yuè máng yuè lèi.

The busier I am, the more tired I get.

two 越

越 V 越 adj

rising together

3. Share a tip

Use two 越: 越 + first part, then 越 + second part. The subject stays at the front.
