易错句子There was a sharp raise in the price of oil last month.
正确表达There was a sharp rise in the price of oil last month.
表示价格、气温等“上涨”这一趋势时,英语用名词 rise,而不用 raise。raise 作名词只指一次具体的加码(如加注、加薪),不能泛指持续上涨;汉语的“涨了、上升了”容易让学习者误用 raise,所以应改为 a sharp rise。

易错句子He won the hand after making three raise in a row.
正确表达He won the hand after making three raises in a row.
raise 表示“加注”时是可数名词,前面有数词 three 就必须用复数形式 raises。汉语名词没有单复数变化,学习者容易漏掉词尾 -s,所以要写成 three raises。
此反义对应“raise”在牌局中“加注”的含义;“call”指跟上当前注额而不加注。
