Raise and Rise
The verb raise means to lift something to a higher position. You use raise when you are or someone is lifting something so, for example, I can say: I can raise my coffee cup, means I lift it up into the air in a higher position. In a meeting I would say: Would all those in favor please raise their hands?
I also could give a piece of advice: You should never raise a hand to a child or a woman.
We also use that verb raise when we are talking about what parents do to help their children when they are growing up. Parents raise children means they take care of children as they grow older.
We can also use raise with the following ideas:
The government plan to raise taxes.
I had to raise my voice to make myself heard over the noise.
The discussion has raised many important issues.
I want to raise two questions with you.
I need to raise some cash.
I will ask my boss a raise.
The verb to rise means that you get up; you are getting up, getting higher so I say: I rise at 7 am every morning, meaning that I get up; I leave my bed at 7 am.
We can also say that the sun rises in the morning and it sets at night. The balloon rose gently into the air.
We can also use the verb rise for the water: In a river during the spring the river rises and it means that there are more water so it goes up, it rises too much and floods the land around. In Egypt the Nile floods the land around and that’s because it rises at a certain time of the year.
We can also use rise with the following ideas:
We had a sudden temperature rise.
We had a 5% rise in inflation last year.
What is the difference between "must", "have to" and "got to"?
Well, actually all of this means the same thing. If I say: I must go, it means that is necessary that I go; I have an obligation to go. If I say: I have to go I’m saying the same thing; it’s necessary, there’s an obligation.
The expression "I got to go" is informal. You can also say: "I have got to go" and here there’s a small difference because using these informal expressions we might be expressing certain urgency or much necessity.
So you can say: "I have to leave now", "I must leave now" or in informal way: "I got to leave now" meaning the same thing.
I just would say that "must" is a little bit more formal; someone who wants to sound a little more educated might use "must" instead of "have to" or "got to", but they are both perfectly acceptable.
