1) Heavy rain will always cause a flood to occur in my basement.
2) Heavy rain cause my room to be flooded.
2) What is the cause of the flood in my room?
3) My basement will always be flooded with water during heavy rainfall.


* I am learning how to use the word 'flood' in different way and I have constructed a few sentences by using the word 'flood'. I hope they are constructed correctly. I hope somebody will help me. :)

Tdol means the first number 2.

The verb in the second number 2 is fine.;-)

In 1), delete 'to occur'.

In 3), delete 'with water'.

Thanks for replying Tdol. You meant the word cause? Is that right?

Heavy rain causes my room to be flooded. I have changed cause to causes, I hope i get it right this time.

Thanks for replying Rover.
OOps, I was not aware that I have numbered two sentences with number 2.
Thanks for pointing out my mistake and correcting them for me.:)
