Hi,

How would you say that an event has been moved to a indoor place, because is going to rain tomorrow.

"Our annual event has been moved indoors due to the rain"
or
"Becouse of the rain in the tomorrow's forecast will be having our event indoors"
or
"Due to the rain will be having our event indoors"

Which one is the proper less "awcour" awkward (don't know the spelling) expresion?

You could say something like this -

"Our annual event has been moved indoors in case it rains."

"Because of the rain in tomorrow's forecast, we will be having our event indoors"

"Due to the possibility of rain ,we will be having our event indoors"

Best wishes, Clive

Hi,

In case of rain tomorrow, our annual event will take place indoors

This seems a bit ambiguous to me. Does it mean that the event will definitely be indoors, rain or no rain, or just that it will be indoors if it rains (in the case that it rains)?

Best wishes, Clive

"Our annual event has been moved indoors due to the rain" or
"Becouse of the rain in the tomorrow's forecast will be having our event indoors" or
"Due to the rain will be having our event indoors"

In a simple sentence, whatever comes first tends to have greater weight than what follows. So to make things simple, it's a good idea to have the main topic/subject appear first. Your sentence Our annual event has been moved indoors due to the rain works better because your subject (the annual event) is up front. In the other sentences, you have it at the end.

Of course, you can always move elements of a sentence around to make things interesting, but if you want to keep things simple, try subject first.

My suggestion for modification would be Our annnual event has been moved indoors because it may rain, which is very simple and makes the point.

Thank you all.   I always fear to use the word "may" and I was not confortable with due to either.  Now I think I have a better understanding.  Thanks again.
