That's another good one! Kinda like "shined/shone" or "laid/lay" (which is even more confusing). "Raised" is the past tense of "raise," and "rose" is the past tense of "rise." "Raise" and "rise" are similar, but not quite the same. I raised my glass as the sun rose... "raise" is something you do to an object, but if the object is doing it itself, it's "rise" - if that makes any kind of sense. I know it has to be even harder when English isn't your first language and you're not sure what SOUNDS right.
It does makes sense.
So, you raise/raised your eyebrows? I think I keep switching between "I raised my eyebrows" and "I rose my eyebrows" in my fanfics LOL. It's like it's 50% correct.
But I'm kind of a perfectionist when it comes to grammar and spelling, so I still want to know which 50% is correct.
When it comes to these kind of words, I have NO idea what sounds right, exactly. Most of the time I can hear what sounds completely wrong but not with these ones.
Oooh! I just thought of another one that I'm always not sure of. The past tense of "to learn". Is that "learned" or "learnt"? Mostly, when I read a word, I can sense if it's wrong or right but I have double feelings with these ones.
