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!
