~に従って (in accordance with)
grammar6 sentences
The pattern ~に従って (also kana ~にしたがって), meaning 'in accordance with X / following X / per X / as X progresses.' Attaches to a noun or verb to indicate that an action tracks or complies with a standard, instruction, or change — and, when paired with a verb of progression, that two things change in tandem. 指示に従って ('following the instructions'), 時代に従って ('with the times'), 経済が発展するにしたがって ('as the economy develops'). The bare ren'yōkei form ~に従い is the formal/written variant, terser and more chain-like.
