What is the difference between ''rise'' and ''raise''? Could anyone tell me briefly what is the difference "rise" and "raise"? Thanks a lot.

Basicamente os dois significam ''Levantar'' e ''erguer'', contudo 'Raise' é um verbo transitivo, um verbo que precisa de um objeto (um complemento para ser mais específico). Terry raised her hand to wave at her friend. Terry levanta o quê? A mão dela, se a frase fosse somente 'Terry raise' não faria sentido, então é um verbo transitivo. Na maioria das vezes há uma preposição. Às vezes. E 'rise' é um verbo intransitivo, então não precisa de um objeto, um complemento. The sun has already risen this morning. A melhor dica é ler várias frases ou até mesmo formar frases para praticar. Bye.

"X rises" means "X goes up" "X raises Y" means "X causes Y to go up" "My spirits are rising" -- I am getting happier. "This weather is raising my spirits" -- I am getting happier because of my spirits. "The dead rise again" -- Zombies are waking up. "His shouting raises the dead" -- He shouts so loud that it wakens zombies.

Rise doesn't need an object and raise does. Examples: The sun rises every day. She raised *her child* alone. ("Her child" = object)
