 |
|
Please help me with the following question.
When we reach Tainan, it has probably rained.
There is something wrong with its tense in this sentence.
Can I correct it this way?
"When we reach Tainan, it will be probably raining." or
"When we reach Tainan, it will probably be raining."
Is there any difference between these two sentences?
Thanks a lot. |

Out of your two sentences, "When we reach Tainan, it will probably be raining." is the right one.
However, you might also consider, "When we reach Tainan, it will probably have rained." if the rain will have stopped before you get there. |
