Hi Mouhannad,

'Wet' means full of water. If you leave your clothes on a line in the rain and then go out to look at them after it has stopped raining, you will find they are wet. You can leave these clothes in the sun to dry and soon they will be less wet but if there is still some water in the clothes, they will be damp. It isn't a good idea to sit on the grass after rain because the ground will be damp and when you get up from the grass, you will find your clothes are damp.
