Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

[true ibex]

it depends what you're qualifying

if you're qualifying a verb or an adjective for instance, you don't use "de"
il grossit de plus en plus => he grows larger and larger (here "de plus en plus" is qualifying "grossir")

[rough cedar]

If there's a noun afterwards

Il est de plus en plus gros
Il a de plus en plus de gras

[true ibex]

if you're qualifying a noun, as an adverb of quantity, you need to use "de" to connect to that noun
de plus en plus de gens... => more and more people... (here "de plus en plus" is qualifying "gens")

[hasty escarp]

It's the same logic as plus (de), moins (de), beaucoup (de), pas (de) etc.
