It always pours when it rains( begin It never rains...........)
Answers
Answer:
It never rains, but it pours.
Explanation:
The primary provided sentence has the following meaning. The difficult times will be coming together. Here, the water will be the rain that pours continuously which signifies and compares that the rain is the difficult times. Pouring of it signifies that, it makes the condition even more difficult and worse for transport.
If the sentence begins with ‘it never rains’ , then rule should be applied. The sentence using never, should have been followed with but. So to not change the meaning, we have changed the sentence using never and but.
Answer: It never rains without pouring.
Explanation: The important point to be kept in mind is that the meaning of the sentence should not change. The original statement implies that whenever it rains it pours i.e. both things happen. One thing does not happen without the other (without going into the figurative meaning of the sentence).
My answer above also means that either both things happen (rain and pouring) or it does not happen at all. That means if it rains it also pours.
If you say "It never rains but pours" you are changing the meaning of the sentence which is a breach of the rule.
Hope this helps.
