Bizncs  +  556342 Tue, 19 Aug 08 02:23 AM Good day to all, When it rains,  we usually say "It's raining.", right? Can I say "Rain is coming down" or "Rain is falling down"? How about "Rain is coming"? Bizncs Joined on Thu, Sep 13 2007 New Member 33

	CalifJim  +  556354 Tue, 19 Aug 08 03:23 AM Bizncs “Rain is falling down” Not good. Bizncs “Rain is coming” Not good at all.  But in a slightly different meaning:  It looks like rain is coming soon.  (The sky is dark; the wind is blowing.  It is not yet raining.) Bizncs “Rain is coming down” Better with a modifier, thus:  The rain is really coming down!  -- to indicate a very intense rain.  Not good for a simple statement that it's raining.
