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.
