to become worse
To get worse than before.
استعمال کا انداز:
[something] worsens
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"more worse"* instead of using "worse" or the verb "worsen". Use "worsen" as a verb (e.g., "His condition worsened"), and use "worse" as an adjective or adverb (e.g., "His condition is worse"). They also often overuse "get worse" and avoid "worsen"; both are correct, but "worsen" is more formal and common in writing.

استعمال کا انداز:
to worsen [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"make more worse"* instead of using "worsen" or simply "make worse" (e.g., say "This will worsen the problem" or "This will make the problem worse"). They may also use "worsen" with a person directly (e.g., *"The news worsened me"*), which is incorrect; you worsen a situation, condition, or feeling, not a person.
