About this pattern
Explanation
Used to express that something happens each time another event occurs. It highlights repetition and a recurring consequence. It often conveys a sense of inevitability or habit, and can be neutral, pleasant, or a bit inconvenient depending on the context. The pattern attaches to verbs (dictionary form or past tense), nouns with の, and adjectives/predals in corresponding forms to mark the recurring event.
