A: She is ascending the staircase.

A: As verbs, these words both mean to move from a lower position to a higher position, but there are differences in when you would use which one.

“Rise” is more commonly said than “ascend.” If you are trying to decide between the two and you can’t be sure if you should use “ascend,” then “rise” is probably the safe pick.




Rise:

Here are some examples where you could use either “rise” or “ascend,” but rise sounds more natural:
-“Smoke began to rise from the forest.”
-“The zombie’s hand rose from out of the ground.”

“Rise” can also refer to when someone gets up from a lying, sitting, or kneeling position. In these examples, using “ascend” would not make sense.
-“At 12:00 noon, David finally rose from his bed.”
-“She pushed back from her desk and rose from her seat.”
-“The clergyman told everyone to rise from their seats.”

“Rise” is also used when describing an increase in amount, size, extent, number, or other statistical value. In these examples, using “ascend” would not make sense.
-“The price of cigarettes is set to rise.”
-“Local people are worried about the rise in crime.”




Ascend:

“Ascend” can sometimes be used similarly to rise to describe upwards motion. In these examples, “rise” could also be used.
-“The elevator ascended to the ground floor.”
-“The rocket will ascend 3,000 feet before beginning its descension.”

“Ascend” is also used commonly in religious context to describe someone’s soul rising to heaven. In this example, “rise” could technically make sense, but because of the religious context, “ascend” is preferred.
-“The Prophet ascended to heaven.”
