Hi

Could you please tell me if the following sentence is correct and natural?

Quote:
No matter how much it rains here, they would never declare the school closed.

Many thanks,

Tom

Hi,

You need to balance the tenses: either how ir rains .... they will never declare

or how much it rained ... they would never.
