in rain or in the rain

Hi everyone,

 

how do you feel about the following sentence?

"I enjoy walking in THE rain - it´s so peaceful."

This sentence should be grammaticaly correct but I´m not sure about the definite article. The present simple tense indicates that it´s not about a specific rain but about rain in general. Why to use the definite article? The sentence is without any context. It´s taken from a grammar book.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

John

Hi John, I can confirm the sentence above is grammatically correct, and that without the definite article it sounds incorrect. Unfortunately, however, I'm not sure why we use "the rain" in that situation.

Hello. The proposal sounds very nice. I think it's built correctly. I would love to help you, but sometimes I get confused myself. In such cases, I often turn to professionals for help.

I like to read the information here, because the purpose of this site is to share a recommendation about an academic company or warn about scammers.

I was skeptical about all these writing services at first, but then my supervisor had just ripped my analysis and conclusions and I needed some help. I contacted writemyessay.me for some help as I just didn't trust myself to do the analysis of my data. Not only did they do an excellent job of the stats (which I hate with a passion), they rewrote the last few sections of my thesis perfectly to reflect the new results that I had. Perfect, isn't it?
