🌹Part:Two
🌹raise OR rise?
✍The verbs raise and rise both refer to something going "up".
✍The main difference between them is that raise is transitive (it must have a direct object) and rise is intransitive (no direct object).
Something raises something.
Something rises.
✍We also note that:
raise is regular: raise, raised, raised
