Confusing English: LIE or LAY? RAISE, RISE, or ARISE?

- Today, you'll learn two sets of confusing vocabulary! Do you RAISE your hand, or RISE it? Do you LAY down, or LIE down? "Who is LAYING in my bed?" Or is that "Who is LYING in my bed?" This lesson will teach you the meaning of each of these words, and how each of them is used differently. Many native English speakers make mistakes with 'lay' and 'lie', but by the end of this lesson you will understand the grammatical reason why we use each of them in different situations. This is a part of the language that can be challenging for English learners because it has irregular verbs. But don't be scared! Mr. E and I will explain it and make it clear. So have a seat and let's learn some English! Afterwards, test your vocabulary knowledge with the quiz: www.engvid.com/confusing-engli...
TRANSCRIPT
Good morning. Hmm. Sorry. James from engVid. That probably raises a few questions for you. "Why did he say: 'Good morning', when it could be any time in the world?" Yeah. Well, I'm going to help you today, because that is a common word that we use in English, but there are some other words that are similar that many people make a mistake with. And I'm going to help you learn them today. That's "raise", "rise", "arise", "lay", and "lie".
Now, quick story: When I first heard this 10 years ago, I was teaching and a teacher asked me: "James, why do we raise or why do we rise?" And I didn't know. I honestly didn't know. Of course I know what... When to use them, but my problem was we just know because we've been taught, but no one actually sits you down and said: "The exact difference is this." So I had to study it. And today I'm going to help you not make the mistake I made, by knowing what it is and how to use it, or use them, because we have five words.
Let's go to the board. Do I raise my hand or rise my hand? Tough question if you don't know the differences between them. And I'm hoping this lesson will help you. In fact, by the time we're done, you should master this and be more fluent in your English use.
First one: "arise". If you ever watched any sci-... Scientific movie, sci-fi movie, there is some dead creature and some crazy magician or scientist goes: "Arise!" Well, we don't quite use it like that in English; we use it a little differently. When we talk about "arise", we mean something has occurred or something has happened. "A few things arose when you were away on vacation." That means things happened or occurred. Another way of saying it is: "come up". If you look at Mr. E at the bottom of the stairs, Mr. E 2 says: "Hey, come here." And he goes up the stairs, so something has come up. Hey, listen, there's a couple of things that I said arose or have arisen, things have come up or occurred that have happened and I want to talk about them. Okay? Cool. That's "arise".
Now, one other thing about "arise"... Let's just talk about it for a second. "Arise" is an irregular verb. Irregular verb? Well, most verbs follow a simple pattern; you add "ed" or add "d" to the end is past tense, there's a base form, and then there's the past participle form. And, you know, looks like "ed", "ed", and regular form. Easy. Irregular verbs means they don't follow that rule, so you have to change it. And unfortunately, there's no way for me to teach you and say: "With every irregular verb, you must do this." They're irregular because different ones look different ways. Sorry. But I'm going to help you by putting it here, and you can also go and study the charts for irregular verbs. Okay? I believe we have some on our engVid tools you can use or resources.
So, "arise", as I said, "come up", is an irregular verb; it doesn't follow the regular rules. So you're going to have to pay attention when I show you how it's spelt. The second thing I have here is intransitive. I spelt it over here for you, but intransitive. "Intransitive", well, "trans" in English... Or, sorry. Latin means across. It means it goes from one place to another. An intransitive verb means it doesn't take a direct object. Huh? Well, here's the example of transitive verb: "I love". If you're sitting there, you're probably thinking to yourself: "You love what? Ice cream? Football? Your mother? Your shoes?" Well, with a transitive verb, it takes an object or a direct object, meaning it has an effect on something else. "I love you." Yeah, I do, engVid watcher, I love you. You are my object, my love goes to you. That's what a transitive verb means, so the verb has to carry across to an object. While, an interested verb... Intransitive verb doesn't need that. All right? Well, I'll give you an example in a second because we have a few on the board. But in this case, "arise" is an intransitive verb. All right? You don't need to have an object with it. Okay?
Here, I'm going to give you the forms. "Arise" is present tense, "arose" is past tense, and when you use the past perfect or present perfect, use "arisen".
" I love you. You are my object."
Quite the romantic you are, sir lol.
I’ve been avoiding to learn how to use these verbs all these years. Thank you for the superb lesson!
Learning English in english is the better way to do it
The best* ☺
Whaddya think about learning Spain on English when you are Russian
@@LilPozzer Then you can try Portuguese. It is almost equal to Spanish.
@@JoaoSantos-ed8vo ok, I'll try bro
@@JoaoSantos-ed8vo yes, sure, kind of like french and italian are.
I can't thank you enough for this lesson, I really have trouble figuring out what verb to use when I write. And when I have to use the -ing form it's even worse. It'll be easier now. Thanks again!
The best teacher I have ever seen. I am a native speaker and still watch James daily. Just to stay sharp.
“Some vs Any” would make for a good video
That's what I understand by the word "teacher". My English teacher in school had the same approach as you. When I'm learning a new word I wanna know everything about it or as much as possible. You gave some really good examples and I understood what you were trying to teach me. Love your channel!
You, my teacher, are georgeous!
Thank you.
I really like your explanation and the visuals, too!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Such a good teacher! Thank you for all the classes you've made!
Nice lesson. Never really had thought about it. In German, "sich hinlegen" (to lie down) and "etwas hinlegen" (to lay something down) sound very similar. And "liegen" means to lie (on the bed e.g.), while "lügen" means (to lie to someone) (you now wish you had the ä, ö and ü to make similiar words different, don't you?). After this lesson, I think I got it. It's actually easy but first you have to know how it works to know how to use it, no matter how easy it is. To lie vs. to lay something is easy to remember. To raise vs. rise vs. arise also was also useful information. Thanks James, as always a good interesting fun lesson. You're a great and motivating teachr. :)
Thats brilliant that you listened to your students & took their questions seriously enough that you looked into them. Just goes to show learning is a two way process between teacher & student & that you take teaching seriously & don't just give pat answers. Some of my teachers were not so good, not really interested in teaching or in the subject.
I love the fact that he knows what I am thinking. 😂😂James is the best!
Thank you so much for the class 🙏💙
These words are very confusing . now i knew how to use it. Love u James . Thank u 👍🏻
Your a master Mr. James thanks for clear my doubts.
You're a fantastic teacher! Your way of explaining is just terrific!♥️
He is intelligent, funny ,attractive , and personable... his wife or husband must be lucky
+lovelylady0200 "his wife or husband....." =))))))))))))) i laugh a lot when read this
Khuê Nguyễn why? It's not like I know his preferences...
i think he or she meant they smile a lot ahahah as in it makes them happy to see someone not assuming one's sexual preference
Alejandro Pérez is that why u have learned another language, to offend other people?
I came here for English but found myself in a gender discuss. 😡
These have been always as a confusing matter for me thank you James.
You have great personality James! Love your lessons :)
both, because I love it too !
I don't understand totally, but now it's a little bit clear, I have to see this video some many times.
I love you James!
Great lesson James. About the "pay raise" i think it is also possible "pay rise", since i guess one is American and the other British
Yesterday, I forgot laying down my phone on a table before i lay down myself in the bed. When i remind myself i rose up and looking after it.
Thank you a lot! I understood everything perfectly, which wouldn't be possible without your help!
And if you guys think this is the end of it, here is more: both "pay rise" and "pay raise" are correct. First is British, second is North American. And "lie" as in "to not tell the truth" is a regular verb: lie, lied, lied. Welcome to English! By the way, from teacher to teacher, your videos are absolutely amazing. Great job!
thanks thanks thanks.this is the best video you've ever made. i got it clear.
Very good explanation! Thank you James!
Dear James,
I'm utterly grateful for the work you are doing! Thanks a lot and wish you all the best !
Cheers
Comment isn't a place for you to chatting.
I love your lessons
Thank you for this very informative video. I was always making mistakes while trying to use them. Also there is one thing with " To Lie". Liar and Lying forms of it makes it very confusing.

Thank you, James. I have to confess I really appreciate your videos for they are clear, funny, interesting, and so on but this subject remains a REAL NIGHTMARE!!! And the guy who mixed up all these verbs together actually died of laughing. I'm sure of that! Have a nice day
