Hello![]()
Thanks a lot for correcting my mistakes
what I wanted in that explanation is to define and show the differences between rise and raise so I didn't care so much to the capitalization
,however thanks and I am very grateful to your help![]()
That may be, but you have to remember that there are other students here who may think that your post was correct. Those students may then pick up the bad habit of not capitalising and punctuating correctly.Originally Posted by herbiji
