Hi,
I happened to have a queer question about "increasingly" while reading a book.
According to most dictionaries, the word, "increasingly" is an adverb so that it can modify verbs.
But the question I have is that sometimes "increasingly" seems to modify the noun.
For example,
"On a practical level, it is increasingly the case that everyone does it;"
If you know what happens in the sentence above, can you tell me how "increasingly" works in that sentence.
I don't know the reason why it was not increasing(adj), but increasingly(adv).
