    Raise my voice towards-against
    Message from peizhen posted on 02-08-2011 at 08:15:25 (D | E | F)
    Hello,

    When I am angry, I often raise my voice against/towards him/her.

    Which preposition should I use? If neither, what is the correct preposition?
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I'd say: at.

    Headway.

    Hello!

    You may raise your voice to someone when you get angry.

    Or: you may shout at somebody when you get angry.

    But: He shouted to me (= called to me) to come in and have a drink.

    Hello

    Here's what Macmillan says:
    raise your voice

    1 to speak in a loud angry way

    We told him not to raise his voice to our children.

    2 to make your opinion clearly known

    Voices were raised in protest at the proposed changes.

    To "raise to/against" is used in this context:
    raise your hand to/against sb
    to hit someone
    "Never raise your hand to/against a child."
