Use one when it adds accurate meaning. 'Sales rose' and 'sales rose sharply' make different claims about the change. 3 Reply lunarleaf08 October 2026 Then is 'a sharply rise' wrong because 'rise' is a noun there? 1 Reply coralnotes08 October 2026 Yes. It's 'a sharp rise' or 'rose sharply'. In both cases, only use 'sharp' if the change in the graph supports it. 3 Reply
