What is difference between rise and raise?

Answer 1

rise is the existence of elevation. raise is to cause the elevation.

Answer 2

They're very similar words, and can mean the same thing sometimes. Both words refer to a movement in the upward direction but there many cases were only one would be appropriate.... The main difference I think, is that when you use raise you usually are referring to someone performing the action of raising, but rise is used to describe the motion of an object eg .... "I raised my hand" or "the flag was raised" (both actions performed by someone). One would use rise for eg when saying "Hot air rises" or " The water kept on rising" (both actions were performed by the object itself).

Answer 3

As verbs, the tenses are different and they are used to describe different types of words. Rise is generally used for describing things that will happen; the sun will rise, zombies will rise from their graves. Raise is used more for things that are currently happening; I raise my eyes to watch the bird, most mammal raise their young and teach them important life skills. Also, as nouns, their definitions are quite different. A rise can be used to describe any elevation in land, such as a hill. A raise is usually an increase in money. Try looking them both up on dictionary.com if you still have trouble distinguishing them from each other.
