    What’s the Difference between Raise and Rise?

    Suzanne

    Raise vs. Rise

    The verb ‘raise‘ (raised/raised), is transitive so this means that it requires a direct object.

    🔸  She raised her hand.

    🔸  They have raised their prices again.

    🔸  I intend to raise the issue with the manager.

    The verb ‘rise‘ (rose/risen), on the other hand, is intransitive. This means there is no object (person, thing, pronoun, etc) receiving the action.

    🔸  The temperature is rising.

    🔸  The sun rose at 5 am.

    🔸  Thanks to their win this weekend, Arsenal have risen to the top of the league.
