2. -(/) : is getting or is becoming + Adj. The pattern -(/) is combined with an adjective and and it indicates the situation which describes the preceding adjective gradually changing. . Its getting cold.

3. -: since, and now -- expresses an act of recollection and - a sense of explanation. The meaning varies depending upon the context of its usage. 1) The first clause describes the reason or the base of the second clause: the second clause describes a result of what has been taking place in the first clause. Usually, the subject is the third person and the subject of the first clause is same as the second one. Michael studied hard and then he passed the exam. (Since Michael studied hard, he passed the exam.) 2) The first clause describes how it was previously: the second how it is now or changed since the time of the first clause.

Usually, the speaker is the subject of the sentence and the subject of the second clause is not the same as that of the first clause . I called you, but you were not at home.

4. -() (): (one) will do, so The pattern -() is a contracted form of - + + -- + -. When () is used with action verbs, it indicates the speakers planning or intention.
