What it means
AにつれてB expresses a gradual, linked change: as A changes or progresses, B changes as well. A is usually a verb in the dictionary form or a noun that describes a process, development, or changing condition. The relationship is presented as a natural parallel development rather than as a direct command or a single-cause event.
Usage note
につれて is normally used with gradual changes and is not suitable for a one-time event. With nouns, the noun generally needs to describe a process or changing condition, such as seasonal change or an increase in something.
