If you understand how to use thes verbs with complete lexical and grammatical accuracy, you will have a basic foundation upon which to describe all trends in your source.

And with further study, you can build upon this foundation to form or complex sentences.

Because these words describe trends, they are helpful for all forms of questions in some cases, including map questions that depict changes in landscape over a period of time.

You may find it helpful to watch this video while looking at the task.

One lexical pattern.

Quick reference sheets included in the Back of My E book, which describe additional uses and variations.

So here are the high frequency academic task one birds and corresponding arrows to give you an idea of the trend type they describe.

So the verbs are jump, which is a fast movement upward climb, rise, grow increase and the freeze over go up, and all of these describe a movement upward maintain, which means to carry on in a direction.

This could be up, down or unchanging plateau, which means to neither increase nor decrease dip, which describes a movement downwards.

But this is often used to describe a temporary downward movement, the phrase over go down, decreased decline fall and these air words that describe a downward movement and finally drop, which is a fast movement downward.

It's quite likely that your source will reference a point of time or a period of time in the past, so you should know the past tense forms of these verbs, and I'll indicate participle forms here as well.

So jumped climbed rose or the past participle formed.

Risen grew, increased, went up or the past participle form gone up.

Maintained plateau owed dipped went down or gone down.

Decreased, declined, fell or the past participle form fallen and dropped.

It is important to remember that adverbs can be used to alter the meaning of some of these verbs.

For example, climbed rose grew increased and went up can be combined with rapidly to indicate a fast movement upward.

Alternatively, they could be combined with gradually to indicate a slow or paced movement upward significantly and modestly could be used to indicate large and small movement upward, respectively.

These same adverbs could be applied in the same ways to the verbs describing downward movement.

So now you have a basis with which to create coherent sentences that describe trends in data.

For example, referring to points in the data using now is like figure value and amount allows you to say things like this figure climbed rapidly to 7000 units.

By 2000 and nine.

This value went up gradually.

Over the next 10 years, this amount fell to 22 million and maintained this value for the following eight months.

Potato Orders plan towed at £70 until August, when they dipped slightly to £68.

Forested areas of Perth decreased significantly over the period in question.

Cigarette consumption dropped to 19% in 2012.

So I hope this quick video gives you a helpful academic task.

One base.

When it comes to describing trends, pick up my E books for a more in depth look at this sort of language and how to add further complexity to your sentences.
