| Jun 17, 2021 at 17:46 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @GoogleGoggle: There is no "correspondingly opposite" idiomatic usage for this context. He (or "his condition") got better, recovered, improved,... | |
| Jun 17, 2021 at 17:43 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @WeatherVane: A bit more than just "more idiomatic"! OP's from worst to worse simply doesn't make sense, and for most speakers / listeners it would be impossible to distinguish worse to from worst to anyway. But you're quite right that the standard idiomatic usage is from bad to worse, and there's no equivalent for going in the opposite direction (to "improve" from being worse than bad to simply being bad again). | |
| Jun 17, 2021 at 17:42 | comment | added | Google Goggle | Then what should be correct sentence. His condition got from (ill condition) to (better condition) | |
| Jun 17, 2021 at 17:00 | comment | added | Weather Vane | It is more idiomatic to say "His condition went from bad to worse." But if 'he' is getting better it is entirely wrong to use 'worse' or 'worst' at all. | |
