I rise my hand or I raise my hand? Rise and raise are two verbs that are easy to confuse. In this lesson, I will teach the differences between these two words, their present tense, past tense, and past participle forms, and tricks to remember how we use them.
thank you for quality education .

I am confused about ( be going to ) and ( will ) I know some of the differences but I am not sure yet , please help me , I want to use them fast with complete understanding.
thanks for your lesson, but your lesson is not enough. Transitive and intransitive is one kind of the diffirences.They still have another diffirence in meaning!. Can you help us clarify more ?
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for teaching! It’s really helpful.
Let me recommend a really useful app for English learners:

(google chrome needed)
Thanks a lot for your listen my teacher! ^^
Wow!!! this lesson is awesome,could you give us more examples with the irregular verb “RISE” in past participle “RISEN”.
Thank you.
Hi Israel,
Here are some more examples:
1) She has risen to the occasion = she has been successful.
2) Gas prices have risen this week.
3) The price of gold has risen significantly since 2009.
4) Because of the flood, the river water has risen to a new level.
5) The number of children with obesity has risen to a very dangerous level.
Thank you!
i have learnt some where,the word rise is using for son and appear is used for moon specifically..what you say about this
sorry sun not son..
You can say “the moon rises” too, but the moon often rises during the day when we can’t see it, so unless you’re actually talking about moonrise you can say “appears”.
I love your English class Emma, thand you very much.
You made my english level rose.
It’s very helpful.

Hi
Dear EMMA my lovely teacher.I really like your this lesson Thank you very much for this to teaching us and …you look good in red
love to see you again….
Can we use the word “arise” other than “rise” with the same rules that you’ve taught?
Hi Duleepa,
Excellent question! You would use arise just like rise, eg. He arose from his chair.
Arise sometimes means to appear or originate, eg. New problems often arise. New problems arose. New problems have arisen.
Thanks for your question.
I was pleased with your reply. Thanks a lot for your additional information.
Thanks!
I am very clearly about rise and raise by you teach. Thanks Emma
thank you so much very useful

Thanks Emma! This was a good lesson
Your class was very good. thanks.
very helpful lesson, thanks a lot;)
thanks)
u raised me up so i can stand on mountains Emma….thanks for teaching us..
I love it when you guys use the material in the lesson in your comments. Keep up the good work!
I have one question
What The difference between
Arise ===> rise
Arise is more abstract than rise. We often use arise when we are talking about opportunities, situations or problems. If something arises, it appears and people become aware of it. Here are some examples:
A problem arose in the kitchen.
I will go to China next year, if the opportunity arises.
A difficult situation will arise if you continue to behave that way.
It can also have the same meaning as rise. In this case, it means ‘to get up’, ‘to get out of bed’ or ‘to stand up’. Be careful when you use it in this way because it is more formal than rise and may sound a little strange if you use it in casual conversation.
my mother has raised me, all my freakin’ life even I’m 38. thanks god. I apreciate ur effort cutie teacher. more english pleaseeeeeeeeeee.
Thank you a lot! Your voice are so cleary and easy to hear! ^^
great lesson,tanks a lot

Thanks Emma ,i love your lessons
I can clearly see some of my mistakes now.
…I hate when it occurs.
(sorry).
We all make mistakes! Even people whose first language is English sometimes make mistakes when they write and speak.
thank you very much teacher Emma.i am a new student in your class…
Welcome to engvid swagger! I hope you enjoy our videos!
i feel great now with teacher Emma.because she teaches me English in proper way which i want to learn
I’ve just seen “Prepositions in English – OF” by Emma and I’ve found that the correct is “A story of love” NOT “a love’s story” as I wrote. I’ve learnt so many things in three hours!
So I meant “A story of love” instead “a love’s story”.
thank you for helpfull. yourteaching is fascinate. do you wont to work Azerbaijan?
hi Emma thankfull for helping us. your teaching is fascinate. I have a question Do wont to work Azerbaijan. There have many english course. Why you dont wont to work there? I love your patient

I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.
good lesson , i now can use rise and raise each one in the correct place
thanks alot Emma
raise needs object and rise dosent need it ,,,
Exactly!
thank u v much teacher Emma
Senhorita Emma,
a lot of mistakes were made, and I’m frankly not happy about them! (I saw “using the passive voice to avoid responsibility”). But please, please forgive me. I was trying to use the vocabulary of the lesson in my comment. I made some adjusts, and I’m going to post it again in a few minutes (or at least, try it).
That reminds me, I forgot to comment about James’ video. Speaking of James, he loves Batman. If you ask me I would say “yeah Batman is good but what about Wolverine?”.
Well, I was Just kidding, Emma. I really like Wolverine, but I do prefer Batman (I’m holding with you on this one, James).
Well, I’m going to send “that” comment again and if worse comes to worst, I can always say that Batman is better than Wolverine, AHAHAHA.
Ok, listen to me. You’re right. Wolverine is better, but to hell with it. =P
God Bless you, Emma!
xD There we go again:
Hell yeah! I loved it! Oh, my profane tongue! I must not use such terrible language! Was the evil itself who possessed me and made of my tongue its slave. I’m using a program called LINGOES that help me check IF what I’m writing is correct. But it can’t help me with the grammar.
Let me tell you a story of respect. Was on a turbulent day and I’d lost my memories in some kind of hole in my soul. A weird man in a fancy suit invited me to his town and said that a dead fellow cannot walks beside the alive. He was referring to me as a dead! The death suits well in this kind of closes.
I was devastated! How could the death itself come at me without be requested? Doubts AROSE, loud as rainstorm, fast as a lady’s love!
I claimed: “You, Death, shall not take me!” And suddenly (did I say that I was on YouTube? I didn’t know how to use “raise” and “rise” so I went there seeking for help) a guardian Angel Came and said:
“Hi there, my name is Emma, and today we’re going to talk about a very common mistake.”
I have never seen such sensitivity in my whole life! Her smile was like millions of needles in my chest, I was breathless, her sweetie voice ate each piece of my essence, then I looked into her eyes and I saw…
I saw it! The heavens couldn’t express more perfection than Emma’s soul! She RAISED me from my deep nightmare whose director was a man called anguish. I was convinced that she was going to help me about the misunderstand mine: “are you saying to me that “Raise” is not a name of a personality from Mortal Combat Game?”
Then, Emma took my brain on her bare hands and said: “Dearest friend, what a shame! Your ignorance is limitless! Why did you involve us in such pointless conversation?”
Therefore I apologize, and the truth is that, the Emma’s soul? I saw it not. The video has low quality for such amazing miracle.
For you, wonderful teacher, dearest professor who will ignore my comment (again), MY HIGHEST RESPECT! Not just because you helped me in my confusion (I still think that Raise is a name of a personality from Mortal Combat), but because this disposition and patience yours on help people around the world (I’ve tried once, but no one wanted to learn Portuguese. What a shame! To hell with it.
Well, sorry for the long letter… I guess that I can always say I was practicing (Actually, I’m going to make long comments to each teacher on this web site, James will be the next, I’m just storing knowledge).
At last, as I’m a beginner I couldn’t find my mistakes above. Despite it, I know they exist. I apologize again.
…It’s just a guy using a fake name from some strange country trying to learn something with his mistakes and with the knowledge of people like you…
Thank you, Senhorita Emma!
I meant “I’ve seen ‘using the passive voice to avoid responsibility” instead of “I saw ‘using the passive voice to avoid responsibility” =P
I am impressed! You have clearly mastered a lot of the lessons and write eloquently! Thanks for watching so many of the lessons.
If you ask me, you’re one hell of a student!
Emma, would you mind give me a hand? I was trying to say something about James on the first comment, but I mess it up. What is the correct:
1) I’m holding with you on this one James.
or
2) I hold on with you on this one James.
Actually, I think both is wrong. xD
Neither really work. Here’s a few alternatives you can use:
I’m sticking with James on this one.
I’m with James on this one.
HI Emma your lesson was really really helped me a lot .
