I left home very early this morning, because it was raining. The traffic in Shanghai is always bad when it is raining.
On the bus I looked out of the window.”I will be late… what a day“ I thought.
The rain had stopped when i got off the bus.
I like the roads near my company but after it rains the air is fresh and I feel very comfortable on the road.

when i was teaching, my wife called me.

the rain stopped – at a time in the past
the rain was stopping – sth that is happening at a time in the past
the rain has stopped – already finished
the rain had stopped – happened before sth in the past
eg. we waited for 10 minutes, and then Jesse arrived. We had waited for 10 minutes and when we were waiting, we were talking.
