My dear and respected teachers, 1: "Can you bet with me on cricket to see which team wins." correct? 2: "It must have been raining." What does it mean?

It's not really wrong, but I would prefer this word order: "Can you bet on cricket with me to see which team wins."

Also, the sentence is illogical, because betting never shows which team will win. So we would just ask, "Can you bet on cricket with me?"

It means that all evidence shows that it has rained.

Are you a native speaker of English? Then you should read this!

Do you know how to use the relative pronoun?
