Hi, Dallas Hinton -> All!
I read your message from 28.06.2020 01:15
DH> Here's one for the non-native English Speakers:
DH> Discuss the difference between "Its getting colder" and "Its
DH> getting cooler". For bonus marks, discuss the difference
DH> between "Its getting..." and "It's getting...."
"Its getting" probably can also be treated as a gerund phrase.
"Several hundred years ago the climate became colder. Its getting colder
prompted Vikings to leave Greenland."
No comment about cold/cool. ;)
Bye, Dallas!
