How to use Propositions in Writing task 1
It is very important to get Proposition right in this part of the exam.
Increase (noun) + in
Decrease (noun) + in
Rise(noun) + in
Fall(noun) + in
After such Nouns, we must use IN when we don't specify a number.
For example:
There was an increase in the number of cars sold in 2020
There was a rise in sales after appearing on TV
There has been a decrease in the consumption of sugar this decade.
Number, sales, consumption are not specific numbers
If there are a specific number after such nouns, we must use OF.
Increase (noun) + of
Decrease (noun) + of
Rise(noun) + of
Fall(noun) + of
For Example:
There was an increase of 70% in the number of cars sold in 2020.
OR
There was a 70% increase in the number of cars sold in 2020.
70% — specific number.
