List-I Sentence	Match	List-II Verb	Tense/Structure
(A) It has been raining since yesterday.	(II) has been raining	Present Perfect Continuous	This tense is used for an action that started in the past (yesterday) and is continuing up to the present.
(B) If it rains today, we would not go for a picnic.	(I) rains	Simple Present	This forms a Type 1 Conditional sentence. The if-clause must use the simple present tense to express a possible condition and its probable result in the future (though the result clause here is slightly irregular, the if-clause requires the present tense).
(C) It was raining in the morning.	(IV) raining	Past Continuous	The structure was + verb-ing indicates an action that was ongoing at a specific time in the past.
(D) It will rain in the evening	(III) rain	Simple Future	The structure will + base form of the verb is used to express future action.
