～ば～ほど
Grammar 文法:
えばform of the verb + Verb in plain form + ほど
e.g.
食べれば＋食べるほど
Meaning 意味：
This is quite a complicated pattern to get your head round. It translates when used in a sentence as ‘the more…, the more…“, “the less… the less” and so on. It is used when expressing the idea that the more times you do one thing, the more you will get the same consequence.
Examples 例え：山は登れば登るほど、気温が低くなる。
The higher you climb the mountain, the lower the temperature gets.お礼の手紙を出すのは早ければ早いほどいい。
When writing a thank you letter, the sooner you write it, the better.あの人の話は聞けば聞くほどわからなくなる。
The more you listen to that person’s story, the less you understand.

See all JLPT N4, N3, and N2 grammar revision points HERE
——————————————————————–Grammar 文法：
Verb (stem) + 始める
- The stem of a verb is the masu-form of the verb without the ます ending. E.g. 食べます -> 食べ, 飲みます -> 飲み, 行きます -> 行き.
- Add 始める to the end of these stems to form the meaning ‘begin to’.
Meaning 意味：This grammar point is used when you are describing a verb that begins to be enacted. For example, to begin to walk, to begin to talk, to begin to study, and so on.
Examples 例え：
日本では、冬になると 雪 が 降り始めます。
In Japan, when it becomes winter, snow begins to fall.
- 降り始めます is made from the verb 降る (to fall), the stem of which is 降り, with 始めます added.
私の妹 は １歳 の 時、歩き始めました。
When my little sister was 1 year old, she began to walk.
- 歩く -> 歩き -> 歩き始めます
