   Hi, Dallas Hinton -> All!   
   I read your message from 28.06.2020 01:15   
      
    DH> Here's one for the non-native English Speakers:   
      
    DH> Discuss the difference between "Its getting colder" and "Its   
    DH> getting cooler". For bonus marks, discuss the difference   
    DH> between "Its getting..." and "It's getting...."   
      
      
   "Its getting" probably can also be treated as a gerund phrase.   
      
   "Several hundred years ago the climate became colder. Its getting colder   
   prompted Vikings to leave Greenland."   
      
   No comment about cold/cool. ;)   
      
   Bye, Dallas!
