Grammar
More and more
1- As time went by, we had some more problems.
2-As time went by, we had more problems.
3-As time went by, we had more and more problems.
Is there any real difference between the meanings of '1' and '2'?
Does '2' imply that the rate of having problems increased?
Gratefully,
Navi.

navitasan Is there any real difference between the meanings of '1' and '2'? I'm inclined to read #1 as having a limited number of problems which were eventually resolved. #2 seems to suggest that the problems were ongoing.
