How to use Furu: grammar notes
•Use 降る with the particle が to show what is falling—like in 「雨が降っています」(It’s raining).
•Don’t use を with 降る—since rain or snow is not something you “do” to something else, を is incorrect here.
•You can use 降っています to describe ongoing weather, like 「雪が降っています」(It’s snowing now).
