¡Hola!
I would appreciate it if you could comment upon the following point to me:
Deteriorarse is a reflexive verb.
The gerund is formed: deterior + ando +se
Now, I have this example (from a dictionary, under the entry deteriorarse):
La situación se fue deteriorando.
The situation gradually deteriorated / got gradually worse.
According to this explanation:

Am I to assume that it is the verb irse that accounts for the reflexive particle se in the example above?
I guess my question is kind of silly but where the other particle (deteriorandose) is and likewise tranquilizarse?
Thank you.
