to become worse over time

To slowly become worse in quality or condition over time.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] deteriorates (over time)
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"become deteriorate"* (e.g., *"His health became deteriorate"*). This is incorrect because *deteriorate* already includes the meaning of *become*; say *"His health deteriorated"* instead. Another mistake is using it too informally where *get worse* would sound more natural in casual conversation.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] deteriorates [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners often overuse the transitive form and say *"deteriorate the situation"* where native speakers more often say *"make the situation worse"* or simply *"the situation deteriorates"*. In many contexts, the intransitive form (*"X deteriorates"*) is more natural.

متضاد الفاظ
