Definition
Changing describes something that is becoming different or does not stay the same. It is often used for situations, conditions, feelings, weather, or plans.
Usage & Nuances
Most often an adjective or participle: 'a changing world', 'changing weather'. It suggests ongoing movement or development, not one single finished change. Do not confuse it with the noun 'change' or the verb form in sentences like 'I am changing my shirt.'
