Hi this is Tutor Nick P  and this is Lesson 349. The title of today's lesson

is don't use "rainy" after verb by itself.  All right. So let's look at the note so I

The comparative

can explain this better. "Rainy' is mostly used as an adjective directly before a

noun. We usually say like a rainy day,  a rainy week,  a rainy season,  a rainy month

etc. Something like that. All right. So let's look at some examples where you know it

might sound awkward or it's not really quite proper. Again you know,  if you're an

ESL student,  the native speaker will understand it,  but it's it's not quite

right. So let's look here with the X. This is wrong. The morning was rainy. Yeah.  I

could almost hear that sometimes but it's really not considered proper. What

you should say...  I give you several ways here,  that you could say it. You could change,

you could say it was a rainy morning.  That's fine. Because you're using rainy right

before the noun , perfect. The morning was wet. You know,  we say that we often use

wet instead of rainy in this sense. Or if you're going to  if you're going to use it,

then you should just use the verb. You could say,  it was raining all morning.

You could,  you could say that.  That's fine too. So or of course,  all these with the

check,  they are correct. All right. Here's another example. You know.  spring spring

was rainy. It  sounds a little weird. It's more proper to say it was a rainy spring.

All right and then here,  here we might have a question. You know,  how is the

weather ? And somebody might answer it is rainy. Even though I do hear this

sometimes. It's more proper , more correct to say. It is raining. It is raining

outside. It's wet outside. You know,  it's a rainy day.

All those. Again are fine. Okay. Anyway,  I hope you got it.  I hope it's clear. Thank
