Hi everybody

Are there any differences between these two sentences?

It seems to have stopped raining.

It seemed to have stopped raining.

Thanks before hand

In one, we are saying that now we think it has stopped raining.

In the other, we are saying that in the past we thought it had stopped raining.

It's the same idea, but the verb tenses indicate different times.

I think you should try to illustrate it yourself, and see if the other people in the community can give you advice.
