Hello everyone,

Could you tell me if the bold words are correctly used in the following sentences?

  1. The price of farm chemicals, transport and heat for the animals in winter has already gone up by a fifth in the last year, and as it goes up by another 20%, we just won't be able to continue farming.
  2. Even as it rises by as much as that, we will be in a lot of trouble.
  3. Our prices will have to jump 20% or more, and when that happen, the big supermarkets will quickly stop buying from us and start trying to buy more cheaply from abroad.
  4. And as they change like that, they won't come back to us in the future even if fuel prices, and therefore our prices, drop again.

Kind regards,

JA
