Questions & Answers about kion ga agaru ni tsurete, mizuyari ga fueru.

What does ～につれて mean in this sentence?

～につれて means as..., in proportion as..., or along with....

It is used when:

• one thing changes gradually, and
• another thing changes along with it.

So in 気温が上がるにつれて、水やりが増える, the idea is:

• as the temperature rises,
• watering increases.

The nuance is a gradual relationship, not a single one-time event. It is closer to the higher the temperature gets, the more watering there is/needed than to because the temperature rose, we watered once.

Also, につれて is best understood as a set grammar pattern here.

Why is 上がる in the plain/dictionary form before につれて?

That is the normal pattern.

With ～につれて, you usually attach it to:

• a verb in plain form: 上がるにつれて
• or a noun: 気温の上昇につれて

The plain form does not mean simple future here. It often expresses a general tendency or relationship.

So 気温が上がるにつれて means something like:

• as the temperature rises
• as the temperature continues to go up

It is not talking about one completed action, so 上がったにつれて would not fit here.

Why is が used after both and ?
