Use につれて to describe one change developing alongside another.
The idea
Attach につれて to a dictionary-form verb or a noun expressing change: 近づくにつれて, 人口の増加につれて. The second clause describes a corresponding change; its tense reflects the situation.
| Verb | Noun |
|---|---|
| 近づくにつれて | 人口の増加につれて |
Examples
- 春が近づくにつれて、日が長くなります。As spring approaches, the days get longer.
- 年齢が上がるにつれて、体力は変わります。As people get older, their physical strength changes.
- 練習を重ねるにつれて、自信がつきます。With continued practice, you gain confidence.
- 人口の増加につれて、住宅が不足します。As the population grows, housing becomes scarce.
- 時間がたつにつれて、不安が薄れました。As time passed, my anxiety faded.
- 技術の進歩につれて、生活は便利になりました。With advances in technology, life became more convenient.

Watch out
The result is normally an observable change, not a command or a deliberate one-off action. Use とき for a simple time point without a gradual relationship.
