I was planning on going to the beach today, but then it started to rain. ✬

We had a lot of rain last year. ✬

You like rain, don't you? ✬

The rivers were flooded by the heavy rain. ✬

As soon as I left home, it began to rain. ✬

I had hardly left home when it began to rain heavily. ✬

As soon as I got home, it began to rain. ✬

The picnic was called off because of the rain. ✬

In case of rain, the athletic meeting will be called off. ✬

Let's get out of the rain. ✬
