Es gibt .... means There is or there are It is used with nouns. der Regen = the rain
regnen = to rain Es gibt Regen = There is rain. In German, we have only one present tense which can have future meaning. Someitmes a word which has the meaning of future tense is added such as "morgen" = tomorrow. Es regnet morgen. = It will rain tomorrow. OR It is going to rain tomorrow. In English, we have three present tenses: It rains. = absolute present tense
It is raining. = Present progressive tense
It does rain. = Emphatic present tense. In German only one present tense is used. It rains = es regnet. Nothing else works. You cannot say: es ist regnet. This form does not exist and is incorrect. 2
