Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Rain"

A: If a baseball game is cancelled due to rain, the spectators receive a coupon for a free ticket to another game in the future. This is called a "rain check." It can be used as a metaphor to mean some other kind of event being delayed until another day.

A: Have implies right now. So "we have a lot of rain this year" is basically saying we have a lot of rain right now but in the past year which doesn't make sense. Had and have had both could be used here and mean the same thing here. I would change "much" to "a lot of" though because it sounds a little unnatural.

A: Let’s say you invite me out to lunch and I agreed, but then something happened and I couldn’t go. In this case I would say “I’m sorry I’ll take a rain check” meaning that we should reschedule for another time.

A: It depends on the context. from what you've said, it sounds like a person is outside in the rain

A: It's a polite way to turn down an offer from someone or cancel plans, but suggest that you may rearrange or take them up on the offer at some point in the future.

For example:

A: ‘It was raining buckets outside’(Raining a lot) & ‘It’s a good year for the farm when the rain buckets down’

A: 2. Còn nếu di shopping mà hàng da~ hết thì người ta sẽ nói với bạn là.... You are going to have to take a rain check on this item.... Mình phải dat mua hàng trước rồi khi hàng về ho sẽ thông báo với mình dễ den' lấy

A: It is raining outside right now.
Do you like when it is raining or snowing?
If it is raining, we must stay inside.

A: thank you & you're very welcome

A: Rain check means a promise that an unaccepted offer will be renewed in the future. Example: Let's go out later tonight.

A: It rains　→　Year round. All the time.
It's rainy　→　Today, in general. It may not be raining right now, but it's cloudy, the ground is wet, and the branches/power lines are dripping. It will probably rain later on today.

A: It should rain- this shows that there has been evidence that it rains but it is uncertain.
It may rain- it is a possibility
It might rain- It’s a 50% chance of raining
It must rain- this means it will rain

A: both are correct.

first one is a complete sentence - "It seems that it’s going to rain".
here "that" implies the connection of seems and rain.

whereas the second sentence implies two sentences. -
"It seems, it’s going to rain"

you can use "be" as well, it only indicates future like:
"we are late" --------------"we will be late"

So if you are using "be" then use it as:
present - "it's going to rain"
future - 'it will be rain".

A: To me, it sounds like “Persist” just sounds a bit stronger than continued. You want to convey your feeling of annoyance towards the persistant rain.

A: Cuando se utiliza el do o el does enfrente de un verbo es para confirmar que SÍ sucede cierta acción.

SÍ llueve mucho y es increíblemente húmedo. (Cuando probablemente la persona con la que estabas hablando te dijo o preguntó: “oye sí llueve mucho donde vives?” O incluso puedes observarlo en situaciones negativas “ay, cerca de tu casa nunca llueve” y tú puedes responderle al negativo:

-That’s not true! It does rain a lot...!

A: × If you listen carefully, you can hear it raining.
✓ If you listen carefully, you can hear it raining outside.

× If you listen carefully, you can hear the rain falling outside.
✓ If you listen carefully, you can hear the rain falling.

× If you listen carefully, You can hear the sound of rain.
✓ If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of rain.

"If you listen carefully, you can hear it raining" is fine but I think "If you listen carefully, you can hear it raining outside" or "If you listen carefully, you can hear it's raining" sounds better.

A: 🎖 Natural

A: × The rain keep on and off all day
✓ It kept raining on and off all day

You can also say "It rained on and off all day"

A: × I hope it doesn't rain, and the weather stays nice today.
✓ I hope it doesn't rain and the weather stays nice today.

The sentences are natural!

Just a few notes:

In the first sentence, a comma isn't needed. Since you are only listing two items here (hope it doesn't rain) and (weather stays nice today) you wouldn't use a comma since it's less than three items.

If you imagine yourself speaking the first sentence, you wouldn't have to say it with the pause either.

Also, the order of the sentences could also be switched here if you want to show a stronger relation between the two:

"I'm going to an outdoor concert, so I hope the weather stays nice."
