(S1) + 越 + A,(S2) + 越 + B
越A越B means B changes along with A: 雨越下越大 'the rain is getting heavier and heavier', 这本书我越看越喜欢 'the more I read this book, the more I like it'. The two parts can share a subject or have different subjects (东西越便宜,买的人越多). As with 越来越, do not put 很/非常 after 越. 越来越 relates change to time; 越…越… relates it to another factor.
