The rain had lessened its force, and was falling now in a gentle shower.

They were all drenched within moments, but the rain did not lessen.

The rain was lessening, though it still fell in great swathes across the plain below.

I should eat something and try again when the rain lessens .

The rain had lessened to a drizzle and the doors were wide open.

The rain lessened and the boys hurried along the street in search of an eating place.

The rain was lessening and it began to back out of its space.

Then the sun gleamed out of ragged clouds again and the rain lessened.

Wind whistled around me, and then suddenly the rain was lessening.

The rain had lessened to a drizzle again, but both were getting wet.
