Can you find any grammatical errors in this short sentence? I am not sure bout the us of tenses (has or had?)?

Question

-------------------
Foreign investment in the country that has been realized in 2006 was US$2 million. However, this amount decrased compared to that in 2005 reaching US$ 3 million.

Answer 1

The grammar is not as troublesome as the excess verbiage. Try: "Foreign investment in the country was $2 million in 2006, down from $3 million in 2005." Neat and clean.

Answer 2

The country's foreign investment realized in 2006 was US$2 million. However, this amount was a decrease from the 2005 investment, which was US$3 million.

Answer 3

Foreign investment in the country, that had been realized in 2006, was US $2 million. However, this amount decreased compared to that in 2005, reaching US $3 million.

Personally I'd use
In 2006, Foreign investment in the country was US $2 million. However, compared to US $3 million in 2005, this amount decreased.

Answer 4

Foreign investment in the country, that had been realized in 2006, was US$2 million. However, this amount decreased compared to that in 2005, when it was US$ 3 million.

Answer 5

What I would write is as follows:
Foreign investment in the country had been calculated to be US$2 million in 2006.. However, this amount decreased compared to that in 2005 which reached US$ 3 million.

I didnt agree with how your first sentence was written so I changed it. I put "reached" cuz you are talking about the past.

Answer 6

Short sentence? Looks like 2 confusing sentences. How about:

Foreign investment realized in the country in 2006 was US$2 million which was less than the US$3 million reached in 2005.

Note: I just read the guys sentence above me... his is better than mine.

Answer 7

'has been realized' may very well be replaced by "was realized" !

Answer 8
