      These to are grammatically equivalent to the English version though, because we use the “er/et”-ending in the verb instead of the English “is”. Without a subject it would just be “regner/regnet”.

        No they are not. The literal equivalent would be ‘It rains’. Tenses just work slightly different in English.
