IMPROVE AND DEVELOP

To improve (intransitive verb) is to become better.


To improve something (transitive verb) is to make something better.
Improve is used for positive changes to preexisting things.

To develop (something), on the other hand, is to come/bring into existence or change (something),
typically as a gradual process; to become, or to make something, more complex, or to advance (it)
into a further stage of a process -- which may or may not be an improvement!

In fact, improve and develop can even be opposites: "I developed a cold yesterday" (that is, I got
sick). "My cold has improved today" (that is, I'm feeling better).

I can either develop or improve a skill that I already have to some extent.

I can't improve a skill that I do not have, but I could develop it.
