Dear Afnan,

If you want to learn the meaning of individual words I suggest you read this first: Why you should learn words in context...

Then you should read and listen to this: raise vs rise

In case you still need the definitions of individual words, simply google them.

By the way, you might also want to start sticking to basic capitalization rules.
