🌹Part:One
🌹Raise / Rise / Arise
Don’t say: “The government is going to rise taxes.”
Say: “The government is going to raise taxes.”
✍Rise means “to go up” or “to increase” – by itself. There is only a subject; there is no object.
The sun rises at 6:00 AM.
Energy consumption rose 20% this year.
✍Raise means “to move something to a higher position” or “to increase something,” so there are two entities, the subject (which performs the action) and the object (the thing that is moved or increased):
I raised my hand to answer the teacher’s question.
(subject = I; object = my hand)
The state is raising the minimum age to get a driver’s license – from 16 to 18.
(subject = the state; object = the minimum age to get a driver’s license)
✍Raise can also be used in a more metaphorical sense:
He raised some objections to the project proposal.
(= he expressed the objections)
Our baseball team raised money for a local orphanage.
(= collected money from donations)
My parents raised their voices during the argument.
(= spoke louder)
The college is raising the bar for new applicants.
(= increasing the standards)
✍Arise is similar to rise, but is more formal and abstract. It can also be used to mean “appear” or “result from”:
Several important questions arose during the meeting.
I’d like to work in Japan, if the opportunity arises.
A new spirit of hope has arisen among the country’s people.
Sorry, I’ll need to cancel our appointment. A few problems have arisen.
