Hi guys❗ I'm sure that you have ever heard these words, which sometimes are confused.

Do you know what the difference between them is❓ If you don't know it, read the following ❷ conversations and try to guess. Good luck 🍀❗

💬

Teacher: If you have any question, raise your ✋.

Student: Teacher, I have one.

💬

Did you guess the difference between these verbs❓ Well; if you are 😕, don´t 😟 don´t 😢. Let´s see their uses 😉.

Raise
This verb must have an object.
If you raise something, you lift it to a higher position or increase it.

      If you have any question, raise your hand.

                                                  ↳ raise + object

Rise

Rise is used without an object.

When people or things rise, they move from a lower to a higher position.
      The sun rises in the east.
                         ↳ rise
Also, this verb can mean to increase in number or quality.

      Gas has risen in price.
                         ↳ rise

Remember❗

When you lift something to a higher position or increase it, you raise it. Due to this fact, you must use an object after this verb.

While, when people or things move from a lower to a higher position; they rise. 

We say that something rises if it increases in number or quality.
