Hi,

Then how should I say if I want to express this kind of difference.
1. the event that I went out.
2. the event that I will go out.

The difference between #1 and #2 is the tense: the past and future.

Q1) So the sentence "I hate to go out on a rainy day" has a meaning close to # 2 or can't have such a implication? And "I hate going out on a rainy day" has to #1
