随着 (suízhe) means"along with", or "followed by" and can be used like this:

  • 树枝 随着 风 不 停 地 摇动。
  • 随着 女朋友 去 了 非洲。
  • 随着 音乐 拍手。


随着 can also be used in the following structure to indicate that a change in A causes a respective change in B. In this case A is generally a trend, like development or rising prices.

The structure is:

随着 A + 的 + Verb, B + Verb

For example:
