history: it began to rain and i waited for it to stop. i became prepared for it to stop so i could run inside my home without getting soaked, it was pouring down rain when i got home so i grabbed all my stuff and got ready for a break in the rain so i could get in the house without getting soaked.
current: Were you able to avoid the rain?  
next: yes thankfully i was able to get in the house without rain falling on me
