Questions & Answers about Sein Deutsch wird immer besser.
Why does the sentence use immer besser instead of besser und besser?
In German, the standard way to express that something is continuously changing is to use immer followed by the comparative form of the adjective. While you might occasionally hear besser und besser, immer besser is the completely natural, idiomatic way to say "better and better".
How does German handle the "is getting" part of the sentence?
German does not have an "-ing" continuous tense. To express that something "is getting" or "is becoming" a certain way, you just use the standard present tense of werden (to become), which is wird here. And remember: never use bekommt here, as bekommen means "to receive"!
Why is Deutsch capitalized here?
In this sentence, Deutsch is used as a noun to mean "the German language", so it must be capitalized. If it were used as an adjective, such as in der deutsche Wein (the German wine), it would be lowercase.
Can I use this immer pattern with other adjectives?
Absolutely. You can combine immer with the comparative form of almost any adjective to mean "more and more [adjective]". For example, immer kälter means "colder and colder", and immer teurer means "more and more expensive".
