2. VERBS RAISE/RISE/ARISE

the verbs RISE and RAISE are abit similar in the meanings but different in use:

TO RAISE (RAISED, RAISED — REGULAR VERB)— ПОДНИМАТЬ e. g.: Raise your hands (recollect your schools). When you use the verb «to raise», you always need to add a direct object (прямое дополнение), if I say: «Raise your.. », it’s not clear what exactly I want you to raise: eyes, hands, legs … SO, ALWAYS USE A DIRECT OBJECT.

E. g. He raiseed this question at the last meeting.

TO RISE (ROSE, RISEN |ˈ rɪ zə n| NOT |ˈ raɪ zə n|- IRREGULAR VERB ) — ПОДНИМАТЬСЯ, Iin this case, you don’t need a direct object. Compare:

The government raised prices. —Prices rose.

TO ARISE (AROSE, ARISEN |aˈ rɪ zə n| NOT |aˈ raɪ zə n| ) — ВОЗНИКАТЬ, ПОЯВЛЯТЬСЯ:

e. g. The problen has arisen with our suppliers.
