What is "raising"?
Raising is a grammatical process where a subject or object appears to move from a subordinate clause to the main clause of a sentence. This typically occurs with verbs that describe a state or condition. For example, in the sentence "It seems that John is happy," the subject "John" is raised from the subordinate clause "that John is happy" to the main clause, with "It seems" being the main focus. Raising helps make sentences clearer by showing the connection between the clauses in a straightforward way.
