Hi, I'm Sian for BBC Learning English. And today, we're going to look at the difference between 'raise' and 'rise'.
So 'raise' and 'rise' both refer to something going up, but there's a difference in how we use them.
'Raise' always needs a direct object – so if you raise something, you move it up. For example: I raise my eyebrows when I'm surprised!
And it doesn't have to be literal – so: The government plan to raise taxes.
Don't forget this is a regular verb, so the past and past participle are both 'raised'.
But with 'rise', there's no direct object. So if something rises, it goes up or increases by itself. The sun rises at 6 a.m. at the moment.
Careful, this is an irregular verb so the past is 'rose' and the past participle is 'risen'.
用法总结
Raise vs rise
Both raise and rise refer to something going up, but there is a difference.
“Raise” 和 “rise” 作动词时都有 “上升” 的意思，但它们的用法不同。
1. Raise
Raiseneeds a direct object - if youraisesomething you move it up. It has both literal and non-literal meanings and it is a regular verb, so it's past and past participle forms areraised.
动词 “raise” 后需要加直接宾语，如：“raise something”，意思是 “把某物举起、抬起、提起”。“Raise” 既可以指 “抬起具体的事物”，也可以表示 “增加，提高某事物”。“Raise” 是规则动词，所以过去式和过去分词均为 “raised”。
I raise my eyebrows when I'm surprised.
The government plan toraise taxes.
He raised his voice at me in anger, but I forgave him.
2. Rise
Rise
does not take a direct object - thingsriseor go up by themselves.Riseis an irregular verb so the past form isroseand the past participle isrisen.
动词 “rise” 后不需要加直接宾语，如： “something rises”，意思是 “某物自己升起、升高”。“Rise” 是不规则动词，它的过去时为 “rose”，过去分词为 “risen”。
The sun rises at 6a.m.
The water level rises twice a day because of the tide.
The bird rose into the air and flew away.

Hello, everyone! Tom here from BBC Learning English in London.
I'm going to explain the expression 'used to'. 'Used to' describes repeated actions or habits in the past.
For example, I used to play football after school.
And it can also describe states or things that happened over a long period of time.
For example, I used to live in Japan.
We can also use 'used to' in the negative form. We just add 'did not' or 'didn't'.
Using our first example, we could say, 'I didn't use to play football.'
But be careful, with negative and qustion forms, we don't include 'd' at the end of 'use'.
用法总结
Used to
（1） 'Used to' describes repeated actions or habits in the past.
“Used to” 可以描述过去时常做的事情或过去的习惯。
I used to play football after school.
（2） 'Used to' describes states or things that happened over a long period of time.
“Used to” 可以描述很长一段时间内的状态或发生的事情。
I used to live in Japan.
（3） We can also use 'used to' in the negative form. We just add 'did not' or 'didn't'.
“Used to” 的否定形式是 “did not use to” 或 “didn't use to”。
I didn't use to play football.

Phil
Hi, I’m Phil from BBC Learning English. Today, I’m going to tell you how to use tooand very.
They are both intensifiers, but they don’t mean the same thing.
We use veryto make an adjective or an adverb stronger.
So we can say: The building is very old. That could be a good thing - it's beautiful. Or it could be a bad thing - it's falling down. Or it might not matter.
If we use toowith two Os, then it means 'it's a problem'.
Could say: It's too easy. It means ‘it’s a waste of time. It’s a problem!'
It’s not too difficult – in fact, it’s very easy.
Just remember that if we use too, it’s a problem.
用法总结
Too and very
Both too and very are intensifiers.
两个词都是程度副词。
1. Very = 很
When we use very, it's not clear whether what we are describing is a good or a bad thing.
当我们用 “very” 时，并没有说明所描述的事物是好是坏。
The building is very old.
This could be a good thing: 'the building is old and beautiful'. It could also be a bad thing: 'the building is old and falling down'.
这可能是好事：“这幢楼古老而美丽”。也可能是坏事：“这幢楼很老，就要塌了”。
2. Too = 过于、太
When we use too, it means there's a problem.
当我们用 “too” 时，意味着所描述的事情有问题。
The building is too old.
This is a bad thing. The building is too old. It might fall down and could be dangerous.
这暗示楼很 “古老” 是件坏事。这幢楼太旧了。它可能会坍塌，很危险
