R Raise, rise.Often confused, these verbs have di erent meanings. Raise means to elevate, pickup, or (of children) see through development. “Rise” means to go up or ascend as an intransitiveverb it has no object, while raise usually does. Their main forms are raise, raised, raised and rise, rose, risen.” Ran. See run. Rang. See ring. Read, read, read. An irregular verb in its main, past tense,and past participle forms. Real, really. A common error occurs when the adjectivereal is used for the adverb “really” or to mean very WRONG That color is right bright BETTER That color is very/really bright.” “Really” and real are often overused when an argument or point isn’t very clear or understandable. They then take the place of logic or sense and become crutches for weak thought and expression I really think you should join the army The example means I can’t think of any persuasive reasons why you should join, but I’ll try to make my point stronger by inserting a meaningless really in the sentence. In short, the presence of real and really in your statements is a signal to you and your audience that your thoughts or words bear further attention and probably can’t be trusted or accepted at face value. Avoid real and really inmost cases.
