Understanding the Use of 'Raise' and 'Rise'

The video lesson, led by Stewart, explains the differences between the verbs 'rise' and 'raise'. 'Rise' is an irregular, intransitive verb, meaning it does not require an object, and is used to describe upward movement or increase, as in 'the sun rises'. 'Raise' is a regular, transitive verb, requiring an object, and is used to describe lifting or increasing something, as in 'raise your hand'. The lesson provides examples for both verbs and concludes with a call to share the video on social media.
