I’m a Japanese English teacher. I come across a strange sentence when I’m correcting a student’s composition. Although I feel it’s strange but I can’t explain why. I need your help.
In this situation, which expression is more appropriate? Or another better expression?
Situation: Two people are standing in front of a bus stop, talking. Then it’s started raining. A person goes: “It’s started to rain. Do you have one more umbrellas with you?” Another one says: The weather forecast says it’s raining today.
I feel the sentence in bold should be replaced by the expression like “The weather forecast said it would rain around this time today.” What do you think? Am I wrong? I tried to put this sentence in Google but there’s no result.
