To express how situations evolve together over time—like "as" or "in proportion as" in English—Romanian uses the phrase pe măsură ce.
| as, in proportion as | pe măsură ce |
Pe măsură ce connects two clauses and takes the indicative mood. The clause can appear at either the beginning or the end of the sentence.
| As we mature, we understand life better. | Pe măsură ce ne maturizăm, înțelegem viața mai bine. |
| As you get used to the new job, it becomes easier. | Pe măsură ce te obișnuiești cu noul serviciu, devine mai ușor. |
| The complexity of the project increases as we add details. | Complexitatea proiectului sporește pe măsură ce adăugăm detalii. |
Verbs of Change
Because this structure describes an evolving state, it is frequently paired with verbs related to growth, reduction, and adaptation.
| As we climb the mountain, the challenge intensifies. | Pe măsură ce urcăm muntele, provocarea se intensifică. |

Other Tenses and Moods
While the present tense is very common, pe măsură ce works seamlessly with other tenses and moods, as long as both halves of the sentence reflect a parallel progression.
