Decreasing & Increasing in Terms of Crocheting?

What do “decreasing” and “increasing” mean in the crochet world? How do you do those?

To increase, you make 2 (or more) stitches in a previous stitch. Make the first stitch, and then instead of moving to the next stitch, make another one in the first stitch.

To decrease, you generally start by using the next two stitches. If you were doing single crochet, you’d normally have insert your hook into the next stitch, YO and draw that loop through, then yarn over and draw that through the two loops on your hook. To work a decrease, you insert your hook through the next stitch, YO and draw through, then insert your hook through the next stitch, YO and draw through, then YO and draw through the 3 loops on your hook.
