keep on -er and -er
Structure:
Verb + 一方だ
Verb + 一方で 、+ Phrase
:
Verb has to express change (増える、下がる、verbs ending with …なる、…てくる、…ていく etc)
I can’t tell when to use 一方だ ｖｓ ばかりだ. I keep getting the bunpro sentences wrong because I’m just guessing which one it should be. Does anyone have an explanation on how they are different and how to know which should be used?

Hey, long time no see 
Generally 一方だ and ばかりだ are exchangeable at all times when describing some kind of change (often with negative nuance).
If you are getting then “Could you say it another way?” notification, and another chance to type the answer then answer is considered proper but is not allowed since its using different grammar point.
Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I am just getting them marked wrong instead of the “Could you say it another way?” notification.
