in rain or in the rain

[John77]

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.

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?

A YouTube livestream I was watching mentioned Accutrader Alpha Reviews https://accutraderalpha.org/, so I decided to see what people were talking about. Honestly, I expected overhype, but the platform itself wasn’t bad at all. From my place in Ottawa, I tested it during different parts of the day, and I liked how consistent it was regardless of timing. After struggling with constant setbacks, I managed to claw my way back into profit, which gave me the push to keep trading.
