It has been snowing all day long. It is unusual. There are snow in Dallas once or twice a year. Usually snow falls a bit and stop soon. But snow has been fallen all day today.
My office closed at 4 pm today and will open 10 am. Usually office time is from 8 am to 5 pm. I can wake up late tomorrow :-)

  • There are snow in Dallas once or twice a year.
  • There areis snow in Dallas once or twice a year. ("Is" is used here because "snow" in a singular noun.)

 

  • Usually snow falls a bit and stop soon.
  • Usually snow falls for a bit, andthen stops soon thereafter. (How long did the snow fall for? For a bit. Commas are good when introducing another clause with so, but, then, etc. Thereafter completes the modifier.)

 

  • But snow has been fallen all day today.
  • But snow has been falling all day today. (I would not begin a sentence with but, but that's just my preference. :) Also, if you are using "has been," you are using a "present perfect" verb, so "falling" would apply here.)

 

  • My office closed at 4 pm today and will open 10 am.
  • My office closed at 4 pm today and will open 10 am (tomorrow?).

 

  • Usually office time is from 8 am to 5 pm.
  • Usually my office time ishours are from 8 am to 5 pm.

 
Good job overall. In Chicago, we were hit pretty hard by snow this week! I WISH we only had it "once or twice" a year! XD
