In this programme we explore the differences between the words 'decrease' and 'decline'.
Although they can mean similar things, there are differences.
For example, look at these two sentences:
He thought about it for a long time, then he decreased the offer.
He thought about it for a long time, then he declined the offer.
Do you know the difference in meaning?
Listen to the programme to find out.
