  • 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

  • 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

  • you for your time. Bye-bye.
