Childhood confusions #1 (permalink) Tue Jan 19, 2010 7:49 am   Childhood confusions
 

Hi everybody,
I have filled up the blanks with right words below:
CHILDHOOD CONFUSIONS (BBC copyright)
1: My accent is strange, because I was _brought up_in America
but I moved to the UK when I was 16.
(grown up, brought up, raised up, grown)
2: I _grew up_ in a village in the country, which was much safer than a big city.
(grew, brought up, raised, grew up)
3: My father owns a ranch, where he _raises_ sheep and cattle.
(grows up, brings up, raises, grows)
4: Children _grow up_ so fast these days. They lose their innocence so young - I blame TV!
(bring up, grow up, raise, grow)
5: We have quite a big garden so we _grow up_ all our own vegetables.
grow, bring up, raise, grow up
6: The countryside is a good place to _bring up_ children
because they can play outside all the time.
(grow up, bring up, grow, raise)

Could you please verify whether I am correct or not?
Thanks,
Er.S.M.M.Hanifa.

Thank you Kitos, would you mind if I ask you about the differences between raise and grow, please?

There is no real difference, except we raise children and we grow crops.
