Shade and completely soaked
She was standing by the road side holding a magazine as a shade over her head. It could do nothing against the heavy rain and she was completely soaked.
Is 'shade' in the first sentence and 'completely soaked' correct in the above two sentences? Are these two sentences seem connected? How would you say this?
Top answer
Shade seems odd to me here, as I would expect it to shield her from the sun rather than from rain. I'd probably say umbrella instead of shade . Completely soaked is fine.
