Welcome back to know your verbs.

My name is Alicia, and in this episode we're going to talk about the verb rise.

Let's begin.

The basic definition of the verb rise is to move upwards.

Some examples.

The balloon rose in the air.

The sun rises every morning.

Okay, now let's look at the congregations for this bird present.

Rise rises past rose past partisan Bull risen Progressive rising.

Now let's talk about some additional meanings for this Ferb.

The 1st 1 means to become successful or to achieve a higher position.

Some examples.

The group rose to power in 2016.

Our channel has risen in popularity over the years, so thes example sentences both refer to kind of improving your rank or improving your level of success, becoming more successful in the 1st 1 We see the group rose to power, rose to power.

Means became gradually more successful like gradually gained, more power rose to power like kind of leveled up.

You can imagine in the second example sentence.

Our channel has risen in popularity.

We see that we're becoming more and more successful more and more popular over the years.

So this refers to gradually gaining some kind of success or achieving higher rank in some way.

Okay, let's go on to the second additional meaning for this firm.

The second variation is to increase to increase some examples.

Temperatures are rising around the world.

Our electrical bill seems to rise every year, so this just refers to a simple increase.

Perhaps the easiest way to think of this is numbers going up.

So in the first example, sentence temperatures increasing, temperatures are increasing around the world and temperatures are going up.

Temperatures are rising in the second example sentence.

It's an electrical bill, so the cost goes up every year.

The cost rises every year.

Ah, so we use rise to prefer to simple increases as well.

Okay, let's go on to the third additional meaning for this one.

The third additional meaning for this verb is to oppose a bad ruler.

So this can mean like a king or a queen or a government or someone who is like in a managerial or administrative role.

Someone who's ruling over other people were controlling other people.

Examples.

The people rose up against the government.

His troops began to rise up against him so here you can see rise up against, and then we follow that with the person or the ruler or the government.

That's causing the problems for the people who are opposing.

So in the first example, sentence the people, the people are rising up against a government.

In the second example, sentence troops, members of the military are rising up against someone who is in control of them.

So we commonly see rise against or rise up against.

In this case, yeah, yeah, let's continue on to some variations of this verb, the first variation is to rise above.

This means to not allow something to affect you negatively.

So examples of this he's trying to rise above all the drama at the office.

They rose above the ignorance in the community, so rise above refers to not letting some kind of negativity affect you in the first example sentence he's trying to rise above the drama in the office means he's trying not to let drama in the office affect him negatively.

In the second example situation.

It's a community situation.

They rose above the ignorance in the community.

So perhaps there is ignorance in the community that could potentially create a negative situation, but they decided not to let that affect them, so they tried to go beyond it.

This has a positive image actually rising above something that could create a negative situation.

Okay, let's go on to the next one.

The next expression is to rise from the dead or to rise from the grave.

This means coming back to life after being dead.

Or we can use it to talk about someone who wakes up after a long, long sleep in a very casual situation.

Examples.

Zombies.

They're humans risen from the dead.

Whoa, look who's risen from the dead.

So in the first example sentence.

It's a fantasy situation about zombies, Zombies, air kind of humans like monsters.

Humans that died.

And now they're back.

They're sort of risen from the dead.

They're back and walking around.

So risen from the dead.

In the second example sentence.

It's about a person who probably just woke up.

Whoa, look who's risen from the dead.

Look who has risen from the dead.

Meaning not literally.

You died and then came back.

But instead you've been sleeping for a long time.

So long.

It seemed like you died.

But now you're back.

You're risen from the dead so we can use this.

Ah, in most cases to talk about, like zombie movies or people who sleep for a long time, though perhaps there are other situations, too, especially in some religious situations as well, where we can use this expression.

Okay, so those air, hopefully a few new ways that you can use the verb rise.
