Vocabulary: to raise or to rise
Whether to use the verb raise or rise can be confusing.
to raise /reɪz/ means to put or lift something into a higher position.
to rise /raɪz/means to move into a higher position.
You can think if it in this way: if a living thing causes (makes) something go higher, we use the verb raise. If we aren't talking about the living thing that causes something to go up, we use the verb rise.
The video below gives an introduction.
