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.

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."
