Bonjour à tous,
Pouvez-vous m'aider s'il vous plaît car je dois commenter un graphique et je ne sais pas quand je dois mettre "by" ou "in".
Exemple :
Foods sales increased by 2006 or Foods sales increased in 2006
de même que "of" There has been a 10 percent increase in ou of 2006
Merci pour vos réponses.
Crodialement

Hello.
'In' is always used with a year. He was born in 1985.
For an amount, you can use by. Unemployment has increased (by) three percent this year. However...There has been an increase in unemployment this year.
I think you can see which is correct for your examples.

Merci pour votre réponse
mais dans ces exemples je ne comprends pas pourquoi je dois dois employer "by" et "in"
This number decreased gradually to 500 by 1974 and continued to decrease but more steeply to 250 in 2000.
Est ce que au lieu de "by" je peux aussi employer "in" partout ? comme cet exemple :
This number decreased gradually to 500 in 1974 and continued to decrease but more steeply to 250 in 2000.
Merci pour votre explication.

Hello.
Decreased by 1974 indicates a period of time over which the action is completed. I plan to leave the party no later than midnight. I plan to leave the party by midnight. If you want to be precise, you would say at midnight.
Decreased in 1974 indicates a specific time, the year 1974, in which the action was completed. Sales increased in 1974, and by 1979, sales had doubled.

Est-ce que cette phrase ci-dessous est correcte ?
This number decreased gradually to 500 in 1974 and continued to decrease but more steeply to 250 in 2000.
Merci pour votre réponse.

Hello.
Either could be correct.
The first sentence indicates that over an unspecified length of time (perhaps several years) ending in 1974, the number decreased to 500.
The second indicates that the decrease to 500 occurred between January 1974 and December 1974.
Therefore, you will have to decide which is the correct sentence. Sherry
