As we go to the party, our glasses were --Arose / risen / raised /rosed -and a toast was made by our host.
hello guys. I just little confused about this question, to choose risen or raised .
past= were+past v
This doesn't make much sense. The first clause is in the present or future tense, the independent clause is in the past.
For the independent clause -- our glasses were raised. . .
thanks
In this case, the correct word to use is "raised." When referring to glasses being lifted in a toast, it is common to use the verb "raise" instead of "rise" or "roar." Therefore, the correct sentence would be:
"As we went to the party, our glasses were raised, and a toast was made by our host."
To determine whether to use "risen" or "raised" in this context, we need to understand the difference between the two words and how they are used.
"Risen" is the past participle form of the verb "rise." It is used when something moves upward or becomes higher. For example, "The sun has risen."
"Raised" is the past tense and the past participle form of the verb "raise." It is used when something is lifted or brought to a higher position. For example, "He raised his hand to ask a question."
In the given sentence, we are describing what happened to the glasses at the party. Since the glasses are inanimate objects and cannot lift or bring themselves to a higher position, the correct choice is "were raised." Therefore, the correct sentence would be:
"As we go to the party, our glasses were raised, and a toast was made by our host."
Note: "Rosed" is not a correct word choice in this context.
