SIBI-P1 Translation G1026-02
it is raining
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative third singular form denotes an ongoing action performed by a singular subject; in English this verb commonly functions impersonally, hence "it is raining," preserving the present tense and active voice. |
