UPDATED: FEB 2022
Confusing!
Frustrating!
But with practice, you will learn it.
to grow
think->
- size, larger or longer
- animals, plants, people
- to get bigger, larger
- Hair grows. It doesn't increase.
to increase
- think: numbers, more
- more of the same.
- You buy another car. Cars don't grow. They remain the same size; however, they increase in number. 1 car + 1 car = 2 cars = increase.
EXAMPLES: grow / increase
- grow: My kids are growing so fast we have to buy new clothes every 6 months.
increase: My family is increasing. I now have 3 kids. - grow: We planted 1 hectare of corn and it is growing well because we used more fertilizer this year
increase: We planted 3 hectares of corn this year; an increase of 2 hectares. - grow: To grow, you need food.
increase: To increase, you need more of the same.
NOTE:
